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.

In response to @Rishi, saying the male tiger in Kathmandu zoo is about as large as a German Shepherd, I will tell you my experience with it, i am basically 10 minutes walking distance away from the zoo and used to go often during my school days, there was a big male which was the most popular attraction, then that tiger sired 3 Cubs, One of those cubs survived to maturity, most of the pictures from Kathmandu zoo in google are from him (with  big cheek ruffs) or his father (big male which didn't had ruff but huge round head nevertheless). I haven't truly noticed the size of the son tiger but he is big also. The father was an absolute huge one, when he came out from his den every visitors, foreigners included were in awe of his size it looked like a lumbering cattle than a cat, and at a food time it would let out a loud growl at his handler, ( the roar is so loud that the whole enclosure just keeps vibrated a few seconds- it sounds like deep voiced  ghwaaaaang ghwaaang you can really feel that energy) this tiger can't be compared in anyway to a German Shepherd he is just gigantic, personally I find the size of the male tiger is almost similar to swamp deer and blue bull.

Statistics wise there is just regular stuffs about tigers in general sadly like the weight is 300 kgs, preferred prey soecies, dimensions etc. The father tiger is dead, the son is still there and he is a big animal as large as a swamp deer, wild buffalo enclosure is just behind the tiger's enclosure separated by a pathway in the middle, so sometimes the tiger comes to this small  area behind and observes the buffaloes from railings, it's quite interesting to see.

This video of the father shows info placard on the fence. Other than that, his name probably was Shiva (from video's comments).
Origin & background of the animal may be found in the 'International Studbook of Tigers' (2015 - 40th Edition).
