Modern weights and measurements on wild tigers

[Ashutosh]

To be fair to Waghdoh, that chest circumference is totally underestimated. What is absolutely mind blowing is the condition of his body at the time of his death aged 19! All his canines were intact and he was still quite bulky. By age 13-15, you see a significant drop in body mass of even the biggest males out there.

Also, there is a tendency amongst humans to lose height and width as you age, so is that the case amongst tigers as well? Considering he lived well past most of his species, that could skew some of these measurements.

@Pckts, Waghdoh’s chest girth still ranks him 5th on that chart you posted. Considering his age, that is remarkable. Reply
