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.

Can't say, could be... I doubt they throw it away if measured. The field-directors of tiger reserve could tell. Or one could ask Dr. Jamshed himself about it. He'd know.
But weight/size data is not what they consider important.
One researcher may not know the data another one might have recorded. Those things don't get mentioned on most public papers. I doubt all of it gets shared & stored in some central database.
