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.

Exactly.
Anyway...I think that opinion of Peter makes sence. Bengals (especially those from Assam) need raw power, while Amurs need a combination of agility and power. Bengals deal with big buffalos and even rhinos and elephants, while amurs deal with bears and huge boars...and raw power itself is not enough in fight against such opponents. But when tiger hunts buffalos or smaller rhinos/elephants, he probably doesn´t need to be extra agile - strenght is the most important factor in a fight against such oponents.
