Really nice thread prathap, expecting to see more huge specimen. Tigers above are really very huge.

The amazing thing about Baikal is that he is not fat but instead he is very BIG (taller, longer, bigger) Yes his size is Prehistoric.

I hope King and Guate can clarify it.
This one, a captive (Duisburg Zoo) male Amur tiger (born in Rotterdam Zoo). He was 320 cm. in a straight line and estimated at 280-300 kg. in his prime. Must have been quite a tiger.

The other tiger is a full-grown female.  *This image is copyright of its original author (06-01-2014, 12:54 AM)'Apollo' Wrote: This one, a captive (Duisburg Zoo) male Amur tiger (born in Rotterdam Zoo).

This guy was stated to have 90mm upper canine from the gumline, but the only thing needs to be clarified is the straight line or front curve.

Is it the longest measurement for any tiger till gumline ? Do you have the total length of that canine (tip to root) ?

Yeah, it is perhaps the longest known record for Panthera. According to peter, the straight line is probably unlikely, maybe in front curve. If so, that would make the canine about 80mm in the straight line from the gumline, or 90mm in the straight line from the skull. From the tip to root, maybe up to 168mm.

Do we have any other measurements from this tiger like Headbody length, shoulder height, chest girth etc ? What is the general method of measuring canines of live sedated panthera (not from the dead panthera skulls), is it straight line or is it front curve ?

The head+body length is 220cm and the shoulder height is 110cm, while the chest girth is unknown, but he looked quite bulky for his size. About in the straight line or front curve, both methods are applicable. 
Take a look:
