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.

Not enough time to respond to everything. One, spring scales are easily zero'd, they come with an adjustment. Two, Sauraha was tracked last capture via personal communication of Guate's. Three, why do you believe it is best to assume tigers got to the bait immediately after setup? 261 kg is a chest girth estimate. The baits used were snack sized to big males, falling under the snack and not feast or famine category of tiger eating, explaining the lack of gorging. 

Piecing the emails together and your citations, one could go along the contours and produce a between pegs measurement if everything is straightened out and the tape is not sticking to the body in each slight curve. I don't have those sources to interpret as well as Guate can. Lastly, if you've ever conversed with Dr. Sunquist, his responses are short and sweet with that style. Most professors don't have the time to respond, and when they do, it's short.
