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'm not sure when I said that but it's possible. As of now I don't feel that way though, I consider a Tiger to be fully mature by 4-5 but they do continue to put on size up until 7ish I'd say. But a 4-5 year is coming right into his prime and will be competing for territory at that point so he should thus be considered an adult.
Tigers will be like any other living creature, some will mature early and others will take longer to blossom. To make it easy, consider a human being for a second, some humans stop growing before they turn 18, others say they even grew a couple of inches in their early 20s. Most humans will stop growing vertically at that point but their body will begin to fill out but once they hit a certain age, they begin to lose muscle mass, this usually happens for males in their early 30s.
What I'm saying is that I consider a Big Cat an adult at 4 years of age, I consider a Big Cat to be fully grown and in their Prime around 7 years of age and I consider them to be past their prime at 10 years of age.
