Yes, but the distance was like 20 meters. Again, probably 250+ kg, but its hard to estimate. 

Guys from Wildfact made an table on captive amur males. The result was that the average is around 215 kg. It seems plausible to me. But when we are talking about prime (and non obese) males, Id say that the average could be like 230 kg ...yes, I dare to say. Reply

[Hello]

I am amazed by robusticity of that 250 kg tiger.He's huge and bear like

Similar. But the tiger was longer. And both were obviously taller than "normal" african lions. Different league. 

And when I say "normal african lion", I mean for example this one. I would say around 170 kg...but still impressive animal. Reply

110kg Xavante Cerrado male was lucky enough to earn the Tapir's head.

That Tapir unfortunately got ran over by vehicle.

Leandro found that tapir already dead on the side road in Cerrado.

That 110kg beast got impressive muscular shoulders.

Today Minduin's breakfast is Green Corns.


''In this time of the year maned wolves get into the agricultures of corn to eat corns.

Maned wolves are omnivorous they eat meat and they also have fruits on their diet and the maned wolves from this region of cerrado they adapted to eat corns as well but they only eat green corns not dry corns.''

I wonder what happened to Minduin's left front leg

Indian zoos (as well as protected areas) are at high alert after a tiger & several other animals were contracted with Corona at Bronx.

So normal East African lions and Asiatics are basically same size in height and weight Reply

[Hello]

The zoo says Asiatic and I've seen this one.He is much bigger than most Asiatics I've seen.To me he is a hybrid and He has more African characteristics(his build,face,mane and size) in common.Now India is becoming contaminated with Afro-Asiatic hybrids
