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.
Thanks. Can you ask the people, whom you spoke to, the following questions?
1) A 9 ft long tiger, assuming includes the tail, would actually be lower than average for a male tiger. So if he is "not that big", how big is he? Big, average or small?
2) What does an average tiger weigh, according to them? How big were the "bigger tigers they have seen" in terms of length/weight?
3) Have they measured the tiger? If so, what is the actual length of the tiger?
4) Why did the forest department, who captured the tiger, needed to bring a second bigger cage for the tiger? Did they bring a cage designed to fit a leopard for the first time and then realized they were dealing with a tiger? Why did it take 12 people to lift the tiger?
5) What weighing machine did the vet use? Was it calibrated? What was its maximum limit?
6) Has Dr. Brijendra Yadav been misquoted by TOI? Has the story been completely fabricated?
7) In an another thread, you said that most indian scientists and forest dept. doctors were unreliable in your opinion. Why, in your view, are the people who you spoke to, more reliable?
