Modern weights and measurements on wild tigers

[Jerricson]

They were hunters but later became conservationists and their on field experience stands out amongst the others. So , ignoring their large sampled morphometric data is baseless. Brander also clearly specified those are fully mature specimens. So I'm not sure how they're subadults and the data from Maharaja of Cooch Behar too most likely includes adult/mature specimens based on girth and length measurements. Dr. Jhala's sample is small since he's darted few specimens in Kanha and Ranthambore. That's it. As for Dr. Khandal , he's not a vet but a biologist involved in few tiger captures in Ranthambore and you should also know that tigers there aren't frequently weighed as said by the former FD and current CWW. I also remember messaging Mr. Khandal couple of months ago regarding mass of tigers and he told me he doesn't have any such data. Reply
