Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Even then, it is disturbing to read about Yamaguchi using the "gorged" issued to estimate the famous Sauraha male of 272 kg at only 218 kg, which is ridiculous.

I think we most discuss a little more on this issue of the food intake, of tigers at least.

 

 


I think if science is based off of exacts than the best way to compare is to use exacts. If something weighs X then that is the # we should use. If somebody wants to note that it was baited or gorged, etc. That is up to the scientist but we can only compare the exact # used. Where I get urked is when the scales are bottomed out. Cause that leaves far to many variables, not only do you deal with the "gorged" issue but then you are left trying to guess how much over the scale the animal weighed. Which we all have seen, is extremely hard even to the most trained eyes.
