ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - A - THE TIGER (Panthera tigris)

[tigerluver]

Excellent as always @peter. I’ll share a few thoughts later. Until then, I had a question based on the big tiger who escaped the snare. This tiger seems to refer to T16, who per old posts seemed to have gotten away. On the snare escapes, I see the story of a tiger named “Ivan”, who escaped and later died due to injuries in Kolchin and Maystrenko. In Gilbert et al. (2015), there is a tiger named T16/PT90 who died  of “canine distemper”. This tiger seemed to have been permanently maimed by a snare he broke. I infer Ivan and T16/PT90 from Gilbert et al. are the same and this Ivan was about 200 kg before losing half its weight per a post I read by @GuateGojira on the old boards (@GuateGojira could you confirm this and the source?).
So, are there two T16s or is this tiger with a claimed 13 cm paw Ivan?:

Edit:
Looking the photo of Ivan from Kolchin and Maystrenko, indeed the tiger above is the same as the one in the work:

The reason I bring this up is that one, the above photo has often been touted to be from an exceptional male. But if this is Ivan, he may've been weighed and we can see at what weight a tiger can start breaking snares. But again, I cannot find a source to confirm beyond a lost old board post. Next, I am interested in the source and to see if we can add another large pawprint and weight to the database. Reply
