(05-17-2016, 09:07 PM)ST2 from Sariska, she is a monster female, probably one of the largest ever weighed. 170kg at 3years old is the top tier of Tigress weight in my opinion. Wrote:

Hi Pckts,Thanks for sharing the info on Sariska.
No offence but I'd remain skeptical about the accuracy of the recorded weights of ST-2 (T-18) as well as ST-4 (T-12), both of whom I'd sighted & photographed quite a few times in Ranthambhore, prior to their translocation. Take a look at these 2 pics of [b]ST-4 (T-12), photographed a year after his arrival in Sariska to ascertain where my apprehensions stem from. Does he really look like a 170 Kg male is what baffles me. I'll try digging up my archives of 2007/08 for T-18's pics in the meantime.[/b]
It's hard for me to tell off of images, but obviously you know better than me.
My question would be this?
If he is said to weigh the same as T18, how do they compare to each other? Does she seem to be as large as him? Also, how does she strike you as a tigress? Does she seem to be larger than most?
She seems very large to me, but like I said, images are so hard to gauge accurately.
