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.

In order to return to the point of this topic, here are a couple of comparative images about the largest tiger subspecies.
Here is the one with the storic populations, including modern and old records:

The second one is only with the modern records, using only the current largest tiger populations:

Take in count that, based in Singh et al. (2015), the Sundarbans tigers should not be included in the populations of the other India/Nepal/Bhutan tigers as they are different with they own genetic and morphological adaptations.
If you want any detail about these images, feel free to ask.
Greetings.
Hello Guate, didn’t your most recent data give an average figure of 221kg for the modern mainland Bengal Tigers? Is there some change? Why is it 212kg now?
Also, for Amurs it says ‘along the curves’ so does it mean Amurs are actually less than 195cm in straight line? Would they not be as long as Bengals then?
