The article is 2months before T12 got sent to Sariska. 

The tiger it mentions was 220kg-T10 (not in image) & said his weight fell below 180kg during the relocation but now can be as high as 250kg.

I thought same might have been with T12 when he was weight 170kg, so i shared it as a reference. 

Quote:My point wasn’t that ranthambhore has small Tigers, my point was that their tigers seem to be a bit more lean overall comparatively. That doesn’t mean that all of their tigers are smaller or larger in frame, they have a wide range like anywhere else.

Agreed. Also, weight isn't static...Between young-old-summer-winter-injury-recovery, a single tiger's weight probably fluctuates 50lbs. I doubt we can put a number on each tiger so easily.

There's an older discussion on this topic with eye witness accounts, you'd probably be interested in it.


It's on the "B2 and other Tigers" Thread

This was truly a mesmerising moment in Masai Mara, when we saw this Pride so close to our vehicle, about 3 feet away and all of us had forgotten to shoot rather frozen to stare.i am sitting in the front seat. Photo courtesy Dr Matrishva Vyas

This cage-way could also work. Although the size of these isn't standardised, they don't vary much either... somewhat this size.

As far as asian lions are concerned, i have found out another way of indirectly comparing their relative size to people using other measuring intermediaries than cars..

There's a metre-gauge rail track that passes through the Gir landscape. The distance between the railway lines along the sleepers is exactly 1 metre. 
There are a few images of local people railway posing on said railway lines...

...as well as lions crossing it.

All three of the following photos were taken at the same place, that left turn, different seasons though.

Raju the Great, the largest of Gir during his time. Image was taken when he was old & ousted (died within a year).
