As anyone attempted to replicate this guy's analysis?

Was B2 ever weighted or measured in anyway?

I have done some research. 

I can confirm that the most common and smallest type of car used in those safari tours is in fact the Suzuki Maruti Gypsy.

I can confirm that the tyre size used in the Suzuki Maruti Gypsy is p205 to p235. See video of guy and his Gypsy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lr5LirTKpK8 
You can also google the tyre size of course, which again results in p205.

If the tyre size is indeed 205 cm wide, then a 18 cm track print is definitely reasonable.

If the tyre was actually 235 cm wide, then the track print would have been wider than 18 cm.

So unless there is counter evidence, one would have to go with the video's conclusion that B2's shoulder height is 4.17 feet and body length is 7.7 feet.

This means that standing fully erect on his hindlegs, B2 would be close to 12 feet tall from ground to nose.

Any tiger that is over 4 feet tall on the shoulder is extreme and would probably be around 800lbs.




Again, I am looking for counter evidence that b2 has a shoulder height of 4.17 feet and body length of 7.7 feet. Reply
