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.

HELLO

Thanks again. For now, we can conclude the heel width of wild male Amur tigers ranges between 10,5-13,5 cm., whereas their captive relatives can reach 14,1 cm. 

The heel width of the captive Amur tiger was measured from a print left in the mud. The heel width of the wild male Amur tigers was measured from prints left in the snow. I'm not sure, but my guess is the prints were left in frozen snow.

The captive Amur tiger with a heel width of 14,1 cm. ('Gamin') was 276 kg., whereas the heaviest wild male Amur weighed in the period 1992-2020 ('Lyuk') was 212 kg. (heel width unknown). One wild male Amur tiger captured and weighed in 2011 ('Banzai') was 286 cm. in total length measured 'over curves'. He had a heel width of 11,5 cm. and was 207 kg.
