Modern weights and measurements on wild tigers

[Jerricson]

@Pckts @Roflcopters Thanks guys. Also here's the datasheet of the other male. I do think this is Kankatta as he too weighed around the same range at a similar age but I'm not sure.

Managed to get this immobilization record from a vet who's captured several males in Kanha . He told me this might be Bheema as he himself is not sure about the ID/name of this specimen but I highly doubt it considering Bheema was collared in November 2014 , not February 2014. He also managed to disclose that the largest male he's captured is 240 kg and will share its datasheet if he's able to dig it out from his old files. Meanwhile , he also shared me immobilization record of another male , which will be shared here later. Kindly note that measurement protocol is over the curves.

whats the body length here ?  its written nose tip to head 47 cm and head to anus 159cm ,

Just add them both.

Can you confirm with him whether the weight was actual or estimated? The verbiage of 'approximate' seems a bit concerning here. Reply

I just asked. I don't think he will answer this question. He was just expressing the cautious attitude of scholars, otherwise how could he know about an empty stomach? And the question I asked was whether he had measured the tiger. This professor may not reply to me, and I have a lot of things to do. You can contact Charger 01 and ask him to ask this professor's question.

which national park? Reply

hey guys can you send me data on the 288kg tiger and the average weights for tigers with and without scientific records? Reply

Professor Randeep Singh told me that the 270kg tiger with an empty stomach was actually measured. He also said a 160kg female tiger(seems to be an estimate). I didn't dare to ask for information. Because he may never reply to me again. Reply

This can also confirm the authenticity of this email. I asked at whatsapp,his user photo is family, so I covered it Reply

From the sounds of that first email, the professor probably gave that information because he was under the impression that Alex was a professional from an academic or scientific institute, rather than an enthusiast who intended to post the information on a message board. He was also asked by at least three people (Alex, Bruce, and Charger) separately in the space of a short amount of time. That alone may have led to his decision to block.

When contacting experts in the field, I advise that it is best to be upfront about who you are, why you want the information and with whom you are intending to share it, and explicitly ask for permission to share private correspondence. Further, to avoid bombarding the researcher with multiple requests from multiple people on multiple platforms - which is very likely to lead to you being blocked - I suggest simply forwarding the email to those who want the proof (but only of course if permission to do so has been granted from the researcher).

I think at least hundreds of people bombed his email. A tiger fan posted a screenshot I sent to him privately on the forum. It was the animal forum in China, with at least tens of thousands of readers. But at least we know the weight of this tiger. In addition, I think the tiger weight measured by scholars has limitations. If this four-year-old 270kg tiger is not found, it is equivalent to non-existent. In addition, scholars do not seem to care about the weight of tigers. They prefer to care about the survival of tigers.It's a pity.Eric Dinerstein also blocked me because I asked him several times about m026, but he didn't say anything. Of course, I'm not sure if it was him. Reply
