As for Wagdoh, "For the last 15 days, the old tiger was found moving sluggishly and had virtually given up on life." (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/artic...751857.cms) Most likely wagdoh didn't eat much in last few days of his death. If at all we have to subtract food content, then it will be 10-15kg. Nothing more. 255-260kg empty weight will put wagdoh as heaviest old aged wild bigcat in scientific records.

Time stamps from the captures showing different dates?
Or source?

Both have the same stretcher.



Wagdoh became a cattle killer after being dispatched for a few years before death and most likely was killing them prior as well.
He also was said to have killed a person recently before
His death.

Great info Pckts, really makes you wonder about cattle killers. Just like the Kenyan 272 kg male lion that had a smaller frame, Wagdoh could have a lot of fat on him. Which makes way more sense when you look at Wagdoh’s measurments imo. 

Knock said the lion appared fit like a wild lion, nothing like a zoo animal, but later it was said the lion was full of fat… Wagdoh also looked fine, but probably had decent amount of fat.

208cm HBL in straight line is very large. It’s not small by any means.

Do we know if it was taken in a straight line? If he was bloated and it was taken over the curves it could have been highly exaggerated. 

Yes his HB length is fine, but I’m still puzzled by the weight looking at his height and chest measurments.

No, protocols are unknown. Chest girth and height are a bit small for a cat of that size. 
The bloating would affect the chest girth more than the length if they go from the back, if the side then it’d affect that as well. Reply
