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.

But on seeing Amur tigers from herbin and some other places, I think they may be heavier than 215, may be 230-240 kg range.
May be it is just illusion and they look more taller, longer and thicker but their weight may be under 215 kg.

 

In fact Guate and Kingtheropod made a research on captive amurs and they both concluded that captive amur average is somewhat over 220 kg. But its good to be conservative...I think that 210-220 (or lets say 215 kg) could be closer to reality. We should remember that some captive specimen are obese.

I have seen perhaps 30 or more amurs in my life...tall and lean (elegant) as well as bear-like monsters. They were usually in 200-250 kg range. I have seen also a 220 kg (weighted) white bengal, no fat, just pure muscle. Very impressive cat...

Yes, we know that some captive and non-obese amurs are in 300 kg range, showing what is the potential size of these animals...but I have not seen a tiger like that so far...
