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.

I agree with Stoja9 in the fact that Sundarbans tigers are smaller than mainland ones.

The average total length of 3 males is of 255 cm (range: 252 - 261 cm), which is just slightly longer than the Island tigers. For 3 females, the average is of 234 cm (range: 228 - 239 cm).

Now, in what I am still not entirely agree is in the weights, because all the captured specimens (except an 12 years old female of 80 kg), males and females, were frail, underweight, captured in human villages searching for domestic animals, and some of them were even unable to hunt. I guess, and is only a guess, that prime Sundarbans tigers weight the same than the Sumatran tigers, but as only very few specimens has been captured, we can't get to clear conclusions.

From the data that we have, the average weight of 4 males is of 115 kg (range: 97 - 150 kg), while the average for 5 females is of 76 kg (range: 72 - 80 kg).
