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.

Thank you for showing interest in my research. The weight of Bengal tigers varied from 200 - 280 kg (adult males, however, there are exceptions) & 110 - 180 kg (adult females in general). Ranthambore tigers were one of the largest amongst the tigers my PhD supervisor caught for collaring.
This gives a really good insight about tigers captured in India.
Here's what I make of this -
1. Researchers consider the normal range as 200 to 280 kg
2. Tigers below 200 kg and above 280 kg are considered exceptions
3. Tigers larger than 280 kg have been captured
Pls PM me if you wish to know who was the researcher...
The supervisor was clearly Jhala.. Who was the one who mail you (tell in PM only)?
