He was hungry therefore attacked the villager nearby, therefore we can assume he was empty-bellied during the sedation.

Do you have any verification of his weight?
That would put him near the males weighed in Kanha at the same age who bottomed 225kg scales.

225kg is likely an estimate and not an actual weight. This weight came from a news website article. And on the other hand, another website article had claimed 200kg for this male so it’s most likely an estimate and not an actual weight. I’ll try to find the other article.

Hi, now, I know the 'along to curves' to 'in a straight line' length ratio of tigers, but what about height? Also, what's the rate for lions?

I can’t say about Lions because I have not yet seen enough data about Lion specimens and their measurements to check the correlation between ‘over curves’ and ‘between pegs’ length.

Also, the height is usually not taken in curved form as far as I know. The height of Brown Bears and Polar Bears has been taken from scapula to the tip of the longest claw in the past which exaggerates their real height.

...But I don’t think this is the case for Siberian Tigers. I did not find any mention of the exact method of height measurements of the Tigers measured during the Siberian Tiger Project but in my opinion, the average shoulder height of 95cm is the actual, real shoulder height because this height makes the most sense and matches with the weights and other measurements of these Tigers.
