Food intake of tigers (exact number)

I wanted to share some numbers regarding the food intake.

In Sunquist study tigresses from Nepal consumed 46 kg per prey (Staying with it for 3 days) and made 40-50 kills per year thus eating on a daily basis minimum 5-6.3 kg. And 2 males ate 57 kg per prey (staying with it for 3 days)and made 40-50 killls thus eating at MINIMUM 6.3-7.8 kg on a daily basis but according to the data. But generally males should eat 1.5x more(used for lion and tigers becaus the dimorphism is equal) than females and as the data for males were just for 1 prey and for 2 males therefore the number of 1.5 should be used, which will give 7.5-9.5 kg per day.

As there some other factors like scavenging or whatever sunquist says around 8.5-10 kg per day (3100-3700 kg a year) should be the case for males and for females 7-9 kg (2600-3300 kg per year).

The source for the Nepal Tigers can be found in the link. Pages are 89/90 for the PDF pages or 82/83 looking at the page number from the study itself. https://repository.si.edu/bitstream/handle/10088/6316/SCtZ-0336-Lo_res.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=y — Preceding unsigned comment added by YusufCatLover (talk • contribs) 15:00, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is.What's the purpose of showing 2 animals behind bars in a section titled *Threats*? – BhagyaMani (talk) 19:17, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit conflict

Hello,

There is a user named Tjkil and Bhagya Mani who are deleting a certain part over and over again in the "body size and weight" category. Btw I suspect that they are the same users as both are doing the same in different topics.

Dr Yamaguchi made in his study a very good summary about the chitwan tigers. As the 2 tigers of 270+ kg were so heavy he pointed out the capture method from the nepalese project more seriously as they baited tigers with carcasses, which indicates that the weight includes a large amount of stomach content. Apparently this does not fit to the agenda of these people and therefore i decided to end this here in a talk section.

The source is "What is a tiger?" from Yamaguchi et al 2010 (Lowest paragraph in page 54)

If they delete it again, someone has to make some serious decisions.

People who have a extreme bias are nothing more than poison for science and therefore wikipedia.

@Ishan87: You did more than correct links. Do you have a reference to cite for these additions? - UtherSRG (talk) 17:37, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I can but it'll take a bit time and also separate links for each species. I don't think it's necessary Ishan87 (talk) 17:48, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
