I understand that animals below 5 years old are not quite full size, but they are almost full grown (We're talking 95% full grown). This could cause a lot of figures to be excluded.

Although @GuateGojira said he finds little difference if we exclude 3-5 years olds, i too think it would make lots of figure useless. More so, with relocation of young tigers picking pace in India & collaring etc. getting done in Russia.

But frankly, including youngsters can indeed cause some confusion, as a male weighed when he's below 4-year-old could gain almost 50lbs over that number by the time he's 6 or 7...& opposite for a male at 13+.
That's why i suggested an age range of 4-12 years, as that's when a tiger can be expected to be able to hold a territory (3-13 for females).

What @Panther suggested, ie, a set of only prime animals should be separate. Reply
