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

[GuateGojira]

Some time ago, I proposed the idea that, in fact, the real condylobasal length and zygomatic wide was of 350 mm and 250 mm respectively and that the figures in the English translation were a mistake. However, Mazák saw the original version, so I think that in any form, the figure of 385 mm is incorrect and should not be used.

Under this evidence, it seems that Indochina and Caspian tigers were about the same maximum size with GSL of 365 mm and 368.5 mm respectively. However, on average size, it seems that Caspian tigers still hold they ground, with an average of 339.1 mm in GSL, slightly longer than the Indochina specimens with an average of 328.6 mm in GSL, males only.
