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.

220 kg is historical Siberian Tiger
You are partially right. Jaipur was obesse, and Hercules is also fat, despite the claim of Guiness and the T.I.G.E.R. organization.
The average weight for male Amur tigers was about 190 kg, figures gathered by me, using the weights from healthy males over 3 years old captured until 2011, recorded by the Siberian Tiger Project and the Amur Tiger Programme. There is a tendency of increasing the weight of males in the last years with males normally reaching the 200 kg, which is good. As far I know, the heaviest male recorded by scientists at the moment is "Luke" with 212 kg, but as I have not investigated anything in the last months, I don't know if there is a new record or if this figure still stands.
Historic Amur tigers were as heavy as modesr/old Bengal tigers, with about 215-218 kg on average. Females are also about the same weight.
The heaviest Liger ACTUALLY measured by Guinness (2014)
