Are tracks the same throughout India?
If that is the measurement, he's actually not a very long Tiger.
6' HBL is fairly standard and he looks to be just about 6' or slightly less.
Just for comparison, the Sauraha Male was 6'5" in a straight line.

Yes, that broad-gauge width is standardised in all south Asian countries.

The remote areas with low traffic has metre-gauge railway lines. Like this one from Dudhwa. ©Natureinfocus, Ankit Kashyap

PS Yes, Wagdoh probably is more stout than he is large in dimensions.

Measuring, I'm getting 198 cm in a straight line. The measurement of the track that needs to be used is a bit behind the arrow. Two questions, is 168 cm the diameter in the rims of the tracks or including the outer border of the rims. Next, was Sauraha measured in a straight line or was it somewhat over curves?

Straight line for Sauraha male.

M2 for instance was a 2.4 year old from Kanha and he measured 205cm over the curves and weighed 195kg..
His tail was an additional 92cm and shoulder height was 125cm.
Over the curves protocol for all. Reply
