136kg female


Blank Park Zoo

Meet Max our new 6 year old, male tiger! Weighing in at just over 400 pounds, Max is easily identifiable from our smaller female tiger, Misha. Max came to Blank Park Zoo at the recommendation of the Amur tiger SSP, or Species Survival Plan. Since tigers are solitary animals, Max and Misha alternate days of being on exhibit. Come visit both tigers this weekend, Blank Park Zoo is open 9-5 everyday!

WAR - International Asia & Australia

VLADIVOSTOK - Russian Tiger Update: Good news, with the help of the team funded by TigerTime the Amur tiger spotted near Vladivostok this week has been safely captured. It is now in the Centre for rehabilitation and reintroduction of tigers and other rare animals (pro “Center TIGER”) in the village of Alekseevka.
The TigerTime funded team assisted the specialists of Primorsky Hunting Management Department to find a tiger by providing a quadcopter. Unfortunately, rich foliage made it impossible to spot the tiger from the air but the use of thermal observation devices soon helped locate the big cat.
Weighing about 120 kg, the tiger is approximately 1.5 years. Experts are now trying to find out whether it is a wild or released captive tiger and why it has roamed so close to the city.
We'll bring you more news about the tiger as soon as we have it.

Paradise Wildlife Park

Peter & Rocky a truly special friendship!
“Rocky” our Amur Tiger has been an integral personality at Paradise Wildlife Park. He celebrated his 18th birthday yesterday and is very special to the family run wildlife park, having been hand reared by park owner Peter Sampson & Rachael. Rocky arrived when he was just 10 days old and was so small he could fit in the palm of Peters hand and weighed less than 1kilogram. (Rocky now weighs 190 kilograms).
During the younger years of his life, Rocky stayed at home with Peter and also members of the parks keeper team in the evenings, building incredible bonds with them. He was regularly walked and used for photo experiences with public due to being so friendly.
Even though no one has been in with Rocky since he reached full size, he is still an incredibly friendly big cat, that public love to see and also hand feed as part of Paradise’s ‘Feed A Big Cat’ experience. His popularity is unparalleled and his personality for being the big friendly tiger, mainly thanks to his bond with Peter throughout his life has helped to raise funds to help Tigers in the wild, around the world with Paradise being the first zoo in Europe to receive a double platinum award for funds raised for 21st Century Tiger.
He’s a truly special cat that is loved and adored by all that see him, especially by his old friend Peter!

My best friend is 178kg Bengal TIGER
Abdullah Sholeh of Malang, Indonesia is an Islamic student who has become best friend and a full-time nanny to the tiger. Mulan's owner, Noer Muhammad Sholeh, 51, asked Abdullah to take care of the tiger when it was a 3-month-old cub at Dilem Village, Kepanjen District, Malang, East Java. Abdullah Sholeh regularly sleeps, plays and fights with the huge tiger. The pair are so inseparable, he often shuns his own bed to sleep alongside the big cat in her enclosure. Mulan now weighs 178 kg, is three meters long including the tail and one meter high. For security reasons, they have had to install metal bars to separate them when they are together in the enclosure. Mulan is fed 6kg of chicken or goat meat twice a day.

Delphos Animal Hospital
Dr. Bonnie met a "new patient" while working at the Van Wert County Fair recently. This 3 year old male, white Bengal Tiger named "Kadar" weighs in at about 375 pounds and he had a sore on his chin that needed attention. Antibiotics were in order so he was treated with Amoxicillin-laced chicken fed with special "dosing tongs" to put him on-the-mend.

Kevin Richardson's lions (wild/captive)

I asked Kevin Richardson about white vs tawny lions. As you may have known, Aslan a white lion recently had a tooth operation and he was weighed.

Here is her response (employee in the program, she responds to his contact me email link)

"
Thank you for your interest shown in our lions.

Aslan’s operation was a success thank you and I am sure he is in a lot less pain having had his teeth repaired.

They were on average between 190 kg and heaviest if I recall was 210 kg.

No not really difference in the tawny vs white

Best Wishes,
Mandy"
