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 think some people might have a preconcieved notion regarding what tigers should weigh (usually with a thin veil of LvT over it) and pick and choose what they can believe and not believe, based upon that but not based on upon reliable experts who weigh the cats. But, I think that most people should be open-minded, especially here and not on the other forums which I choose to avoid. So really what we believe the tiger weighs is nothing, he weighs what he weighs and that is that. Big tigers can get really big but how big is the question, and if big is 600lbs or 700lbs or something else/more. But, I would definitely wait for more information to see if the specific figure of 340kg or so is accurate to his empty weight.
