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.

I am fully agree with you on this. And that is why I decided do not mix the new body measurements with the old ones, because those were actually taken between pegs and those are going to be reflected in the final comparative image.
However, for knowledge purposes I have the other table with only modern tigers that will include the measurements of the new specimens, but definelly those small size are not going to be included as under any logic, they do not belong to adults of more than 3 years, that is sure.
