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.

Sometimes you have to be carefull when breeders tell you what are the weights of their animals. This amur male (around 14yo, I think) is from private zoo. The owner told me that he was 340 kg (weighted), when he came to the zoo. I told him that it could be 240, but he insisted that it was 340 kg... :-) But what I saw was typical example of standard amur tiger, that means 200-220 kg. Definitely impressive animal...maybe he could be 240 kg in his prime...maybe...

He has about 5 tigers and 7 lions (or so)...their cages are next to each other and there is quite a lot of interaction between them. In the past some of his tigers shared same enclosure with lions...He told me that according to his experience tigers dont have problems with lions that much. Male tigers are agressive towards other male tigers and male lions are agressive tiowards other male lions.
