Update: more male tigers from Thailand

I follow the webpage of the Thailand Tiger Project DNP in Facebook and I am impresed by all the data that they are collecting. They say that soon they will publish the information but they still need more date to imput.

Some of the details of those publications is that from time to time they publish sizes of captured tigers, specifically males! I manage to collect this list from the FB posts:

21 of August 2018: 4 males
1 - 189 cm HB and over 200 kg.
2 - 197 cm HB and 172 kg.
3 - 177 cm HB and 162 kg.
4 - 191 cm HB and 162 kg.

29 of March 2019: 1 male
No size, but weight of 180 kg.

4 of November 2019 (today): 1 male.
No size, but weight of 198 kg. 

So we have a total of 6 new weights, appart from the other 5 weights (from 4 specimens) in the document of 2012. The average weight of these new males will be 179 kg, BUT we must remember that the heaviest tigers did not weighed 200 kg but "OVER 200 kg", so the real average weight will be about 180 kg. The average figure from 2012 paper is of 182 kg, so based in this sample we can conclude that adult male tigers in Thailand average no less than 180 kg.

I will continue following the webpage, I will update the information everytime that I can.
