At canine length of 9 cm, I think we have a new record holder dethroning Madla.

I little heavy for his body length, most likely gorged.
His measurements are fairly normal for a territory holding male. In regards to Madla’s canines, I’m not sure if his were measured along the curves or in a straight line?

The eye witness said gut fill was low enough that nothing could have been ascertained for how much was eaten prior to getting weighed.

This is Ustad. Here he’s full.

Not clear cut

That’s a different angle where his stripes helps hide the stomach although I still see content there. the photo I posted clearly shows stomach content.

And he's also not rolled on his back where gravity will push is stomach backwards to condense it in a smaller area. 
It could also be a completely different capture a swell. Regardless, it's not clear cut but still little doubt he had some content with those dimensions and that weight.

That's what I think. You can see, his forelimbs as well as hindlimbs are being pulled onto the plank but his trunk is still off of it, and it's pushing into his side. 

Whatever it might be, the source of the tranq sheet (also the eye witness present for the whole procedure) said it was not significant enough to tell anything. If it was anything. Others shouldn't judge it based on one pic with weird position of the animal. Reply
