Are you sure they all only talk about that single 320 kg speciment? 

Because this one here seems to mention other 2 different speciments, one of 317 kg and one of 386 kg that allegedly weighs 322 kg on empty stomach (is it the famous 389 kg Bengal that ate the buffalo calf?)

Another question, I see on every site including Wikipedia that the upper limit for a bengal tiger is 325 kg, whereas no bengal tiger was weighed that much, so maybe it belongs to the estimated weight of the 389 kg giant on empty stomach ?

It's sad we don't have a valid proof to confirm that alleged 345 kg male, although Wasif Jamshed is said to be a solid source we can't trust him.
I personally believe a bit that the tiger really weighs that much, if the female truly weighs 180 kg.
We’ll never know unless someone decides to weigh them again, I hope someone will lol maybe we can put pressure on zoologists of that zone and ask them images of the scale when they weigh the tiger ahaha

Quote:Thank you for your message and participation in the fate of the Durma farm and the Amur tigers that live there. Alexander Sergeevich still continues to struggle with gold miners, who stubbornly continue their work on the territory of the economy, despite the court order, and have already received a new license to continue exploration of the Durminskoye deposit.

 
As for the black bears, you are right - Batalov is interested in them and studies them along with his work on the study of tigers.
Social networks A.S. really doesn't use, but email. by mail - regularly. The address you found really belongs to Alexander Sergeevich, I am in correspondence with him at this address. You can send your message to him and he will read it. True, there may be delays with the answer, tk. now he is busy planting cedar (Korean pine) seedlings on the farm. This tree provides the main food (along with oak acorns) to wild boars, which, as you know, are the main prey of the tiger. Felling of these species is being carried out on the territory, and the state does not plan to plant seedlings.
 
Yours faithfully,
Olga (assistant Batalova A.S.)
