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.

Dr Dinerstein is basing his statement in 3 adults males (200, 272+ and 272+ kg) and several SUBADULTS, so that is not an "average" from him. Remember that he weighed only one male tiger, the other two were from Dr Sunquist and Dr Smith and finally the other man-eater tigers (from which we only know one weight) all where weighed after he finished with tigers and he completelly focus in rhinos. Believe me, I know the entire history of all the Nepalese tiger study, specimens, experts and all what you want to know that is published.
