Not sure if it proves your point, since tigers have died during capture. The link I posted has tigers dying during capture as well as others that have died during capture.
So obviously its not clear cut. I also see nothing that would benefit a Tiger Conservation from capture that couldn't be accomplished without a less intrusive means of monitoring.

But on the flip side, it is obviously not a terribly upsetting thing for a tiger as they die very infrequently from it. In other news, a Clouded leopard was finally Radio collared and I believe with a cat like that, so elusive and unknown, that collaring it is probably a good thing. Because we know absolutely nothing about it, but I do wonder if the same couldn't be accomplished with Camera Traps.

Camera traps can monitor prey densisty, different prey species, predations, populations, interactions etc.
Its far less costly, less intrusive and less stressful to any animals.
I believe it is a better option, but I see both sides.

T72 is soon becoming one of my favorite tigers in India.

Here he is
T72Sultan (T-72)…Superstar in the Making
*This image is copyright of its original author
Born to the tigress Noor (T-39), Sultan or in other words Emperor is looking for his own territory. His audacity to stare down at jeeps and canters even at a young age has compelled people to bestow him with this name. He was first spotted in summers of 2012, when he was about 4 months old with mother. Sultan is reckoned to be a prodigy, as he has the best of his mother Noor, who is one of the best huntresses of Ranthambore National Park and his father Ustad (T-24), who is reckoned to top the ferocity chart in the jungle. With rare genes like these, Sultan is very likely to become the face of the national park in the coming years. Sultan could be spotted in Zone 1 in Ranthambore National Park; however reports are that he has been signalled by his father Ustad to find himself a new territory now, as Zone 1 is the territory of his father T-24 Ustad. Sultan at the moment is about 22 months old and he has already approached a herd of Nilgai, without them noticing him; he also once chased a Sher Bagh (Jeep) which was on a safari trip posing great threat to the visitors. Sultan is the next big thing that one should look forward to in Ranthambore National Park.

this is the famous Katezari male/Amitabh and now Tyson, I still don't get how a tiger gets away with two to three different names. It doesn't make any sense to me. For example, lately they have been calling Saturn "Namdev" - Gabbar has two aliases as well (Leopard face) and Wagdoh male is also called (Scarface).

Vijay said the same thing about Tadoba Gaurds, apparently they are notorious for it.
A little continuity would really help with ID and big cat #'s.
Tadoba should stop using Names and use numbers more, I know they have numbers, isn't waghdoh M8 or something?

Thanks for the clarification Copters.

I don't blame Vijay Rajan, this causes so much confusion for people that are trying to learn and you're right Pckts. Wagdoh's scientific name is M8. as far as i remember, both the tourism zone tigresses (Pandherpauni female and Choti Tara) also have scientific names P1 (Choti Tara) and P2 (Pandherpauni tigress). I am sure others probably have these too but we would have to look Tigernation for this. [img]images/smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

I know that I will now use the Tigers Name and # always, if possible. It may not be much but hopefully it catches on more and more.
Too much confusion if not. Thanks for the info Copters.

Apparently Gabbar has been collared, I wonder if he was weighed since he is quoted as being a large boy who is only getting bigger and bigger.

 Soumyajit NandySanctuary Asia1 hr ·At only 3 years, T72 has already become a hefty male. We saw him resting in a nullah in Zone 1, just 5 minutes after entering the park. After a meal of a buffalo which he had killed earlier, this guy looked so stuffed that he could hardly move. After spending some time with us, he moved towards the main road, crossed and went inside Zone 4/5. Hope to see him as a dominant male of his territory in due course!— at Ranthambhore National Park.
