There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

This debate is again on 2 bank of rivers, it will never meet.
Pckts are saying different thing and Guate saying different.
According to pckts photographers are better than us (specially those who never see tiger in wild and do not involve in data collection). I agree a real visual perception is better than nothing, A photographer who live in forest 20 days a month and take images, see them live, notice them in front are more reliable when they say something related to behavior to that animal.
But if they comments about scientific facts like body mass, weight skull etc then that can not be taken as final words, Depending upon the individual we should agree on his information.
Same for scientist, Some scientist data is not reliable as other simply because they also tend to bias, wrong use of measurement tools and many other reason.
So if a scientist say the body measurement of particular tiger is xyz and a photographer claim something different, we will definitely agree with scientist But If a Photographer say particular tiger is 4 year old because he is taking images of him from his childhood and a scientific person calculate the tiger age different, I will go with photographer in this case.
So its depend on things.
This is not photographers vs scientist debate. We should talk about T-24 here
