B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India

[Pckts]

Peter, check out the vid of the old siberian who is wondering the road. He is tall and skinny just like you said. When they are young or old they get very slim for obvious reasons (new to hunting alone and no territory or to old to make a large kill) but once they reach 5-9 they are prime specimans and will either own a territory or died trying.

The table on length correalating to body size also gives credince to my theory of chest girth.
Lion siders like to use the fact that lions have slightly larger chest girths at the same weight or lenght. But if a tiger is still not full grown at the same weight or length as a lion, it will of course still not be as filled out. Its hard for a animal to maintain mass if it is still getting taller. Hence why you see so many tall and skinny HS basketball players who don't fill out until they stop growing. So if the same rules apply, a tigers chest girth will not reach its full potential until the tiger is full grown. Which means the tiger usually needs to still grow another 4-6'' in body length before it can really start putting on the girth. I wonder if limb girth is also correalated with age and chest size?

I think Raja got injured and having some infection on his right forearm elbow.


 


 

Yeah, I noticed this as well. Was thinking the same when I saw the picture.


 

I wish he gets well soon.
 

 

Me to. I doubt a elbow infection is going to be able to stop this tiger for long.
