At canine length of 9 cm, I think we have a new record holder dethroning Madla.

I little heavy for his body length, most likely gorged.
His measurements are fairly normal for a territory holding male. In regards to Madla’s canines, I’m not sure if his were measured along the curves or in a straight line?

The eye witness said gut fill was low enough that nothing could have been ascertained for how much was eaten prior to getting weighed.

isnt this combination of darting medicine causes vomiting?

Can cause isn't the same as vomiting every time. It's no different than a side effect from any drug you take, it's not something that happens all the time. 

"During the hospitalisation period, no severe adverse reactions (ie, seizures, dysphoria, hyperthermia, respiratory depression, hypotension, bradycardia, bradyarrhythmias) were recorded. One tiger (tiger 4) in the SP group showed slight signs of nausea (ie, ptyalism and lip licking) a few minutes after drug administration, while two tigers (tigers 1 and 9) in the NSP group vomited before attaining lateral recumbency. Throughout the time the animals were immobilised, no signs of eventual sudden arousal (eg, spontaneous eyelid movement, nystagmus and pedalling) were observed in either the SP or the NSP group."

Only 2/18 Tigers vomited Meaning odds are high that Tigers sedated generally will not vomit.

yes but as charger quoted the vet said not much significant visible content , so content can be 5-10kg we can assume i guess which is part of its system , its very less chance  to get a big wild cat 100% empty .being pulled over a strethcer makes his stomach look like that so in this  case the quote of vet is important i think .

It’s not a Vet who is quoted, It’s someone who was part of the capture. 
Regardless, there’s certainly some food content and if that picture is the correct timeline then it is visible enough, definitely not as embellished but still visible. Like numerous biologist say (Hoogestejin, Smutts, Almeida,) you can never know how much food content a cat has until you cut it open. Estimating off of Baits is your 2nd best option but not as conclusive.
Also I agree that the CCTV video holds no weight since there is no timestamp between capture to that video and the distance the Tiger had to travel is too far for him not to have digested a good amount of food if necessary.

so how much ustaad would be empty as per u?

Food content could be anywhere from 5-30kgs but it’s impossible to know. Based off his dimensions I’d estimate him around the 220-240kg mark empty. If we knew some girth dimensions it’d be a big help.

yes girth dimension would give more clarity , but 30-38kg content would be visible to observer , a little to moderate content would go unnoticed like 5-15kg . 220 means nearly 40kg of content . Reply
