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.

Wild carnivores and humans compared

When viewing tigers in the forest it's hard to judge it's height and length coz there is nothing to scale them with. But robustness and bulkiness can be judged without a scale.
The problem starts here, for a general viewer a bulky but smaller framed tiger will appear bigger than a slightly leaner larger framed tiger. I would say instead of arguing let's post some videos from central India showing tigers near gypsy bonnets. That will give us a clear picture on the shoulder height department. I'm yet to see males crossing the gypsy head light (metal body below the bonnet) in the front or the metal body work in the back of the gypsy in central India. 


Regarding T12 weight I think it could be a type or print error.
T12 is a very large framed tiger. Here is a video of T12 which explains my point, when the tiger is in the woods it appears to be an average lean tiger. But when T12 comes close to the gypsy bonnet we can see his immense shere size.








@Rishi Thanks for the T12 Sariska video.
