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.

The debate on size, albeit in an indirect way, more or less underlined things are not very clear in the department of size (weight). This is the reason I recently proposed to start a kind of task force headed by a poster able and prepared to read and to check information and do it again. Guate is the obvious choice.

In order to prevent a barrage of emails of members of Wildfact to biologists, I proposed to appoint one poster as our contact. A poster interested in accurate information and able to open doors, meaning Shadow. Other members interested in accurate information about size can assist Guate and Shadow. There is a lot of information, but it has to be checked. And again. I'm not saying fake news extended to size, but at times it's real close. The last thing we want, is contribute to spreading misinformation.

Another thing we want to avoid at all costs, Greatearth, is confusion, irritation or animosity of some kind. Our readers are interested in good information about wild tigers, not something else.

I agree posting takes a lot of time. Time you do not have at the moment. My advice is to focus on the study. Start writing the papers you have to write and make sure they're up to par or better. It's your future. When you return, make sure you have time. Focus on a limited number of topics and stay away from things that do not contribute to knowledge about wild tigers. You have the book published in Japan about the destruction of tigers in Korea during the Japanese occupation. I'm sure readers are very interested.

One more thing to finish the post.  

I know plenty of people with outspoken abilities. Unfortunately, most of them are unable to use these abilities in the best possible way. One reason is individuality. Talented people in particular often find it hard to share and to cooperate. They want to do it theirselves and in their own way right until the end. There's nothing wrong with individuality and drive, but life today is very complicated. Way too complicated to do everything yourself all the time, I think. In the end, it's about knowing how to use your abilities to get to a creation of some kind. Yes, I was referring to teamwork. My proposal is to give it a try.

I of course share information, which I´m able to find out. But as some have pointed out and some know from experience, like @GuateGojira  and @Pckts and most likely many others, it can and will take some time. Lately I´ve been asking more about captive animals, but of course I could approach some instances and see what can be found out, conservation biologists in Finnish zoo Korkeasaari have been nice, when I have been in contact for some issues and that zoo is participating to Amur tiger conservation programs.
