There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Maybe you are able to contact some of the staff about V. Mazak. Ask them if they would be willing to measure the standing height of the shoulder of all big cats. It won't take a lot of trouble.
Ofc no problem...(I just give the link because Im too lazy to print the photos)
They have male and female amur, but these tigers are quite old. Male Xeron was 205 kg weighted (at the age of 14 I think). They had male amur Mauglis who was 246 kg (weighted at the age of 12...I think). BTW they dont weigh big cats regularly, only when these animals arrive to the zoo. I can ask them but I am sceptical...some relevant scientific reason could help - are you working on some kind of publication?
Im more positive about the possibility that they could have some data from V. Mazak (who was employee of Zoo Prague). Ill ask them...
BTW this year they are expecting the arrival of lion pride directly from India so I hope they will be weighted...
