What is the growth rate of a male Siberian Tigers? ?
I am trying to figure out the average growth rate of a large male Siberian tiger.
I need to know what the approximate height (and length if possible)
it would be at four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and so on in months old ranging all the way to its full height of 3.5-4 feet and 13 feet long.
Basically if someone could just tell me about how many inches a male Siberian tiger grows in a month then I can figure the rest out for myself.
Oh and at what age does the tiger tend to stop growing or at what age does it reach 3.5-4 feet tall and 13 feet long. And if my measurements for its adult size is wrong please let me know.
Thanks
Hi Jennifer…this information will differ greatly from cat to cat which depends on what part of their growth stage you are trying to gage as it will be different at all stages in their early life. Some males will have a faster growth spurt than others.
A cub could be the size of a very large house cat when they are 3 weeks old and two months later easily 40 - 60 pounds. By the time they reach a year old they can be 150 - 200 lbs or more`.
They generally reach full their full size between 3-5 years - males 3-1/2 feet tall at shoulder height and 9-12 feet in length.
Consider contacting your local zoo as they can offer you specific facts that you need to have as my information is based on my colleagues information long ago.
