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.

Absolutely, all tigers I see grow thick fur throughout the winter month's or whenever its cold, in fact I see the same in lions in captivity at least. I absolutely agree with your assessment about captive tigers being from unknown heritage, I say it all the time. The only place where we even have captive pure bred bengals is india and we have little to no real measurements for them.

Try to tell the difference between these big cats, outside of size, their facial structure looks very similar
These are alfred courts big cats...

But believe it or not, the tigers on the outside (the larger ones) are Siberians and the inside ones are bengals.


Here was his write up on them...

But still, we have no idea where the bengals are from or what they have been bred with, but beatty said the same thing about amurs and many others as well. They've just always been an enigma to me, seeing them in captivity shows me what they are truly capable of but that certainly doesn't mean that I haven't seen N. American Bengals in captivity that weren't just as large.

For Instance...
This is Doc from Noahs ark sanctuary, the same place where the BLT live

"hard to believe that at 3.5 years old, this massive boy tipped the scales at 520+lbs. He is the largest cat at Noahs ark and the famous boy who used to live with little ann (black bear)."

He is 540+lbs now, just as large as any captive amur out side of the freak specimens, which shows what they are capable of.


@Richardrli
Castration has nothing to do with animal size, we have already gone over this, if that's what you were implying?
