Great, let's see them...... 

And his misinterpretation on what sunquist actually  says holds no water. Cloth or metal, pegs or straight line, curves or not, gorged or not etc.unless specific person involved with the measurements gives detail, which sunquist does, we can make whatever assumptions but not if detail is provided.
Do you really care if you deduct a inch?
It's not going to change anything, tiger averages are going to stay the same.

I'm also pretty sure that everyone here including the mods who can see our IP addresses can vouche that copters and myself aren't the same poster so I can assume that you ever claiming that again is done for?

Male tiger weighed just under 400 lb (181 kg) in Chitawan NP, Nepal, on March 1980 by Mishra (2010), with weight stated to be “the normal size for an adult male”

Male tiger with age evidently estimable 6.5-7 years old from the info provided in Mishra's book weighed at 450 lb (204.1 kg) in Chitawan NP, Nepal, on 1st January 1985 by Mishra (2010).

Full account of a tiger hunt of King Mohammad Zahir Shah of Afghanistan in the early 1960s guest of King Mahendra of Nepal reported by Mishra (2010) with a male tiger shot and weighed at over 400 lb (181.4 kg) in Chitawan NP, Nepal stated to be “a big male”

Not to mention the sample size of 7 males, for Chitwan tigers is not based upon 7 individual males, but instead 2 or 3 specimens weighed several times throughout the years, including each weighings as a separate sample.

So you are willing to accept hunting records?
Fantastic, @peter just so happened to have done an extensive collection of reliable hunting records and weights on N. India/Nepal Tigers, I assume you will obviously add the weights obtained here http://wildfact.com/forum/topic-on-the-e...is?page=57  to your "7 individual males"



Take the time Bold, really read his hard work. Everything is discussed, measurements being obtained, how they were obtained, the backrounds of the people, the weights and so on.

These are just the tables, the information on all of them are provided in the link.

But I assume you will be adding these tigers to the 2 you mention of course, right? Reply
