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.

Also which one had a 114cm shoulder height?
Also, is the Gaurs dimensions you used have a weight attached?
If so, was the 1106kg or a different amount?
Thanks for doing it btw.
Yes, Sauraha was 197 cm in head-body, but we must take in count that the biggest tiger ever recorded was of 221 cm in head-body "between pegs" (Brander, 1927).
The shoulder height of 114 cm came from two tigers, one measured by the Maharaja of Cooch Behar and the other from Mr Fred Shillingford, both taken "between pegs". The tallest tiger recorded by Brander was of 112 cm.
Some of them had, but only shoulder heights, and other only horn spread. For example, the heaviest bull recorded (2438 lb - 1106 kg) only shows a the horn spread, which was of 36 inches (91.4 cm), but no other measurement was available. It seems that only the Maharaha of Cooch Behar measured his animals but he did not weighed them.
