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

Even though body length would be better, total length still works well enough in weight predictions, bar the odd body types. Using the 311 cm-314 cm, I get a mass range of about 270-280 kg. For fun, say this tiger's tail is shorter, 0.45 of the body length, it's body length would be 215 cm-217 cm. Scaling the total length to be of the more common 1.5xbody length = total length, he'd be  323 cm-326 cm. By my formula, he could be anywhere from 305 kg-320 kg under these assumptions. Simple conjecture regardless, records leave so much to be desired in the morphological sciences department. Reply
