Dr. Packer states Crater have bigger chest girths, and supposedly we have these numbers. Remember the regression I did? That equation is the same method of the 212 kg estimate and isn't flawed. It's also powerful due to sample size. That's why I think the regression method is the best way to find an estimate for the Crater weights. Also, I feel both length and chest girths should be taken into account as a product of the two against weight for accuracy of estimation. Most ecologists are more focused on the conservation and ecological math, that's probably why no one has used the allometry methods.
