From almost 40 specimens that I have collected since 1992, only three specimens presented stomach content, which means that about 93% of the captured tigers in Russia are empty belly. This is logic, because tigers in this area are unable to hunt as much as any other cat, specially by the incredible low prey base. That is also a reason of why these great cats don't weigh as much as in old days. By the way, is important to see in the picture, that the belly of Banzai is plain, which mean that it was empty. Other important thing is that that Amur tigers are never baited, they are captured by snares or by helicopter in the field. Hope this helps.

In April 2014, the management of the Sikhote-Alin Nature Reserve received funding from the charitable foundation to carry out the Striped Neighbour project, which aims to study and protect the Amur tiger population, a national symbol of Russia. The camera traps have been installed in the areas most frequented by Amur tigers, including main paths and marked trees. Each tiger has a unique stripe pattern, allowing researchers to identify the tigers photographed by camera traps and to count all the tigers roaming the reserve. The first check of the camera traps revealed that one particular location is especially popular with the predators, resulting in images of four different tigers and a brown bear. The tigers are well known to researchers and have already been named: Varvara, Murzik, Mira and the male Dzhigit. The latter was first sighted in the reserve in 2011. The images suggest that Varvara has already parted ways with her offspring, after teaching them how to survive in the wilderness, and is now ready to mate again. Experts at the nature reserve hope to spot her offspring soon, and they also expect her to give birth to a new litter in the near future. The Bushnell digital camera traps are absolutely silent and feature an invisible infrared flash, so they don’t disturb the animals in any way. Experts hope that these unobtrusive and well-camouflaged devices will provide many interesting images and video clips of tigers and other animals, and lead to new insights into the lives of the taiga dwellers. http://programmes.putin.kremlin.ru/en/tiger/news/24840 Sikhote- alin's famous tigress "Serga" in photographs  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Serga with her cubs  *This image is copyright of its original author Serga with the cubs again  *This image is copyright of its original author Cubs again  *This image is copyright of its original author More of Serga in broad daylight  *This image is copyright of its original author Serga again  *This image is copyright of its original author Serga  *This image is copyright of its original author Serga again for those of you that are unaware, LUK the famous male is the son of Serga and the late Professor male.

Notice the tigers legs hanging off the scale, while most of the weight is distributed towards the gurney, those limbs still weigh something, the bones, muscle, fat and paws. All are kg's unaccounted for. |
