Here are my new tables about the size of the Amur tiger, actualized at 2015, with all the records that I could found at this date.

This new version have some corrections from previous ones, besides it includes the table of the historic specimens, in order to show the variation among the subspecies in time. In the case of the modern males, I used the average data from Kerley et al. (2005) in some measurements, because it had a larger sample, and by extension, more representative. With modern tigresses, despite the equal sample size and data, my average values were not the same than those of Dr Kerley, so I used mine, as are based in the same data published by her in 2005.

Erase the old versions that you already have and save this new one, together with the attached document (also available in Scribd).

This is what I am talking about. Check that there is no mixed data, those from the modern studies (table 1 and 2) are completely separated from those of the "old" records (table 3 and 4). Besides, the objective of the inclusion of the "old" records is to see how little, if any, variation has been in body size for this tiger population.

Interesting to see that Warsaw always said that the data from tigers in the old literature is unreliable, but that of the bears doesn't. He don't even deserve my attention. Let him/her bark in Carnivora, I am not interesting in discussing with a biased ignorant. Reply
