ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - A - THE TIGER (Panthera tigris)

[Pckts]

Amazing stuff yet again, Nepal produces the largest tigers I have seen thus far, these cats are a true sign of what the Tiger is capable of when no human pressure is put on them.

I also agree with un-adjusted weights

Lastly, I find it interesting in regards to old, large males being almost, "ghosts"

You can find examples of this in most apex predators...
Great White Shark divers say time and again that the largest sharks usually never come up to the surface of the cage, they are always at much lower depths outside of the occasional monster who makes an appearance only to not be seen for years afterwards.
Bro Bear posted about a bear who was an alleged monster and would avoid poachers snares and so forth,
Gustav the croc avoided capture for as long as they tried
and I think this holds true with some tigers...
You don't get to be an old king without learning some tricks and I truly think the greatest specimens are the ones we will never see until they decide its time to show themselves.

All and all, these write ups have been absolutely fascinating and I have enjoyed reading them.
Your hard work is appreciated Reply
