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

[Pckts]

Amazing write up Peter, thanks for taking the time. I would be very surpirised if a animal being "gorged" would have any outcome on chest girth. I assume a gorged animal drags the stomach down and adds to weight but would have no factor on any muscle girth or mass.
Since we don't know if Zimbabwe Lions were gorged, most likely were since its the easiest way to catch a animal, I doubt it would make any difference regardless.

It always bums me out about how many tigers were killed but how few measurements exist, it would be nice to be able to compare more then 10 specimens. But beggers can't be choosers.

Also amazing how close they both are relative to body size in chest girth and even compared to the bear. Reply
