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.

Modern weights and measurements on wild tigers

Here we have the tiger "Eliah" from the Wokutakula Wildlife Rescue Centre in South Africa. There are no measurements available from this specimen but I scaled the images in base of the humans. As the human with the tiger Sauraha is from Nepal, he may be slightly little than the man with the tiger Eliah, which is from South Africa, so I scaled them in this form BUT I may be wrong, so no offense to anyone, ok?  Joking

From my perspective, these two tigers are about the same body size. However the white tiger weighed 299 kg! This means that some tigers don't need to be so long/tall to get a high weight. As we know, Sauraha weighed at least 260 kg "adjusted", but may have weighed more.

For those that want to see this tiger been weighed, check this post (No. 244): https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-captive...ts?page=17
