The article is 2months before T12 got sent to Sariska. 

The tiger it mentions was 220kg-T10 (not in image) & said his weight fell below 180kg during the relocation but now can be as high as 250kg.

I thought same might have been with T12 when he was weight 170kg, so i shared it as a reference. 

Quote:My point wasn’t that ranthambhore has small Tigers, my point was that their tigers seem to be a bit more lean overall comparatively. That doesn’t mean that all of their tigers are smaller or larger in frame, they have a wide range like anywhere else.

Agreed. Also, weight isn't static...Between young-old-summer-winter-injury-recovery, a single tiger's weight probably fluctuates 50lbs. I doubt we can put a number on each tiger so easily.

There's an older discussion on this topic with eye witness accounts, you'd probably be interested in it.


It's on the "B2 and other Tigers" Thread
