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

[Roflcopters]

Excellent compilation Guate but you forgot to add the male from Pench (2008-2011 project) that was given an immobalization dose that would've worked well on a male weighing around (200kg), however. this male required an additional second dose of 1.2ml. In the end, they put his weight as 200kg > (Over 200kg and the exact weight was not provided)

So in conclusion, most Adult males residing in India are well over 200kg and the heaviest males easily exceeding 250kg. Even Panna was selectively choosen as a study area by Dr.Raghu Chundawat's team and all three males there were quite large. If we look at Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Tadoba and Pench. any of the known males from these particular parks could come off as exceptionally large specimens and the biggest potential lies in the Assam/Terai side. Southern India is not far behind either, quite a large number of specimens have been seen around here, Infact I am willing to bet that Raja has the biggest arms I've ever seen on a tiger and I think most of us would agree on this. His Forequarters are abnormally huge. Unfortunately, he won't get the recognition that he rightfully deserves.
