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.

Sadly I can't use the figures until we have at least an email corroborating the information.

Thank you for the links, I am going to save the webpage.

You can use the values IMO. Due to the nature of the incident, the tiger's body went through a detailed post-mortem. 

Several seperate sources site the same values. I'm thinking FD probably released an official statement. Can't find it anywhere though...

From the camera trap photo, i didn't expect him to be any higher than 200 kg. The animal was very average in every way.

PS: Should i move the last few posts to weights & measurements thread?
