There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. 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.

Karanth has been a student of Sunquist during the 1980s. He learnt a lot of things from him. He seems to have measured his tigers along the curves to be consistent to the methodology used in Chitawan by his teacher a decade before his PhD.
 

Sunquist's involvement in the tiger project was in the 80s is when all the Nepal measurements were taken, whereby as I've already stated, he asserts measurements were between pegs, so one would assume Karanth would have used that method if he was following his mentor. 

As you've stated on the Nagarhole tigers, over curves would make them much too stocky, even moreso than Hasinger's tiger if that mass was true, not feasible, Smilodon is long gone now. I don't necessarily agree with scientists making such stretching errors, as images on Sauraha and two of Nagarhole males show the bodies stretched out properly.
