Well, YV Jhala was the head of the largest tiger exercise in the world ever and personally saw nearly 2500 different tigers spanning over 36000 tiger photos camera trapped from all over India. So, if he says these two tigers are different and warrant a study based on their looks, how about let us take an expert in his field on his words?

I don´t take unless he has seen those.

If someone tells me, that there are in one zoo two very big tigers, one 300 kg and one over 200 kg and female, I would say the same as YV Jhala, that worth to study closer. But that doesn´t prove anything about sizes of those tigers, no matter who says that same.

If YV Jhala say somewhere, that "I saw those tigers and they are huge", then a different thing. Anyone would say the same as was in that quote, if someone claims something like that, but not seen anything by him-/herself. I have seen too many misunderstandings and exaggerations to believe something, which is mentioned only in one newspaper article and nowhere else. Usually when somewhere is something exceptional, it can be found from multiple sources, not only one. And now there is only one interview published in different articles. So I wait until I make my own conclusions. More information is needed. Reply
