Modern weights and measurements on wild tigers

[Charger01]

I was also surprised for his weight for the dimensions he has. Just a guess from my side, there could be some mistake in his age. Maybe he had some more room to grow, who knows.170 cms is undoubtedly tigress category and ~7 cms less than sunderban tigers, somewhat seems impossible for a 215 kg tiger

Edit - At 3:42 the guy actually said "aur lamba hoga" meaning "he will grow more", so they probably gauged his age wrong

Another thing, perfectly shaped ridges can be seen on the canines (seen in subadults / young adults), which gets rounded off in adults.

And, I subtracted the paw pad length from the total shoulder height to get a tentative standing height.
38 inches - 6 inches = 32 inches / 81.28 cms

81.28 cms, that is too short for an adult tiger, even tigress are taller by 7 cms. Reply
