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.

Total length 291 cm
Head-body 189 cm
Shoulder height 109 cm
Upper canines 6 cm
Lower canines 5 cm

Weight not taken

Can you get girth measurements as well?
Judging by size, I'm guessing measurements were done in a straight line. 
Without girth measurements but still using length and height its safe to assume he was around 
200kg or so. Possibly more but need the girth and measurement protocol first to confirm.
I believe they sent me all the measurements they took, and chest girth wasn't there so maybe they did not take it. But I will try to ask. The person told me that he was extremely skinny and weak in his last days due to tumor.

He definitely looks like it

Claimed to be 9’4” over the curves and 230kg which obviously she’s not so I’m not sure where that weight is from.

Yeah I dont believe in those numbers, just shared as it shows how they measure bigcats now a days.

From what I can hear, they were in a hurry and just because someone requested them to take the measurements, they allowed it. They skipped the paws. Most probably didn't weigh her either. 

The measuring tape was 60" with a couple of extra inches left on the end. Tigress's body took the whole tape and still a few inches were left I believe. Give or take 67" or 170.2 cm for the body and as they said in the video, 23" / 58.4 cm for the tail. Total being 90" / 228.6 cm. Tail at 23" / 58.4 cm is quite short. Couldn't get the shoulder height. 

Edit: This is weird. I rewatched it and in the first go, they actually measured her total length to be about 102" / 259.1 cm. First the body which took whole length of the tape and couple of extra inches (63"), then kept a finger on the point they left at, then measured again which added 39". I took 39" from when then tail was on ground. They proceeded to pick the tail up to measure it which I think might have created an error. Then the tail measured separately gave 23" / 58.4 cm. 

Subtracting tail length from the total length, the body would be 79" / 200.7 cm which is highly unlikely for a tigress.

Which is why I said it could be 170 cm too, and most likely is.

I just left both of em there so people can judge for themselves. But now I have mentioned that 200 cm hbl would be very unlikely.

Around 200kgs is a good average for male Bengals.

jhala states 200 to 260 is normal range in his journal . https://www.researchgate.net/publication...ing_Tigers , the vet khandal of ranthambhors says most of the tigers are between 220 to 260 in ranthambhore . avg should be somewhere in middle of the range or slightly tilted towards lower end , not exactly lowest. avg is lower is some parks where they dont work i understand , but it should be something more than 200kg .
