I don’t know if this helps, post #202 was from his original account.

Will respond to that question (referring to post 202 in the modern weights thread) in some detail soon.

Everything I have (including genes) strongly suggests tigers in northern India and Nepal (as well as northeast India) are different from those in central and southern India. It's a bit like with lions and tigers: you can find reliable information about large individuals (referring to lions) in just about every region (same in tigers), but (Indian) tigers do it more often. Furthermore, region, in contrast to lions, seems to be more important in tigers, meaning you'll find large individuals in some regions more often than in others.

The best way to answer the question is to use averages. As there's, apart from a few reports here and there, nothing on tigers today, I've no option but to use historic info. In order to prevent clicking and loss of info, I'll respond in the tiger thread. 

All can help by posting recent info on length and weight in that thread. A few pics also help. Reply
