that's strange, they're not really blurred on my screen. 

Can a third party please confirm if the shots are shown properly and not blurred? [img]images/smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Some huge tigress canine, perhaps over 5 inches in the full length, also no void inside.

Although it is huge in the length, but it is proportionally slender compared to the canine teeth of the male tigers, much like the canine teeth of the other female tigers i've seen before.

Not the same Baikal (the huge one).

The dead one was an average 400 pounder.

I tried to weigh my tooth on my phone app, but its so long that it hangs off both sides and its also uneven. I kept getting around 4-5 ozs but that is definitely not confirmed since its impossible to get a correct weight on that small of a phone. I would need a IPAD to weigh it properly.

Because it is an Indochinese one, that's why it is not as heavy as the Amur one.

The Amur one around 6 inches will usually get around 6-8 ounces.

Not sure about the density of the Bengal canine teeth though.

So at least my scale is pretty close. It was going up and down between 3.9ozs to 4.6ozs or so. But if i were to guess, I think 4ozs would be the closet I can estimate from the terrible scale I had to use.

thanks for the clarification. Can anyone tell me, why there are only such few photos of him and especially no recent ones?

I think @Kingtheropod could take more recent pics of Baikal, and we just have to wait him to come back.

BTW, the most recent pic i saw Baikal was taken in December 2013, he was 16 years old and definitely lost a lot of weight.

He was weighed at 850 pounds at the age of 12, which was already not his prime weight. So i can imagine he should weigh close to 900 pounds at the age of 8-10.

Hi,

How you got the weight of 400lbs for that dead tiger ?

By estimation, since he got killed by a 2 years old 350 pounder.

The average captive male Amurs are about 450-500 pounds, while this male was quite old, so it was plausible that he may lose more weight.

for all we know, It could've been a two on one fight. remember no one saw the actual fight, just heard the commotion and figured something was wrong and that's when Baikal's dead body was found. The enclosure that Baikal managed to get into had two sub-adult male brothers weighing around 350lbs each..

I'm of opinion that they both teamed up to eliminate him and from my understanding, Sub-adults do team up occassionally to wipe out a common enemy. (In the wild and captivity) [img]images/smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
