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.

About John and Dale.,, I may have been read wrong (I didn't read careful, I only skim through it) or remember wrong since it was two years ago about you were arguing with other user in wildfact.
About advisor.. Big cat people won't clearly provide accurate information unless you know that person in real life. Dhamendra said Ustad was never measured. Now, I hear completely different claims by other users in wildfact here about Ustad's weight. From what I experienced abot jaguar dudes, I clearly having doubt about big cat people. Their answers are no stable. They just change time to time. They are making excuses to keep their information secret. At least, that's still polite. It's much better than douches who are just ignoring emails like the guy in San Diego zoo and many douches from Panthera. I lost respect on many big cat biologists (jaguar people at least) from their rude behaviors. They probably never been educated from their parents when they were young.

I will continue with the important point, the information.

What I have about Dhamendra is this conversation with other poster. @Pckts, can you confirm is this was a conversation with you? To be honest I no longer remember, I just saved the image:

Now, about an article of Dr Jhala which shows all the tigers recorded in Ranthambore it shows that T-24, which was known since cub, was radiocollared until 2009 when he was ill, the same year when the animal was reported by the article of Khandal. 

Now, it is interesting that Valmik Thapar in his book "Living with Tigers" says that T-24 A.K.A. "Ustad" born in 2006 and was very aggresive, he did not mention any weight or anything, but it is interesting that the weight of 240 kg was, apparently, taken when this tiger was just about 3 years old, so not fully grow. So, this figure of 240 kg may be too high for a 3 years old tiger, or we are missing something. The heaviest subadult tiger that I know is a male of 216 kg captured in Nepal.

I think that knowing what Dr Jhala stated in the image of the document that I posted before, he will be the only one that can actually confirm the real size of T-24, but it will be better if they can publish the data, just like he have done with the lions of Gir in a document of 2019.
