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.
261 kg is the official value of Sauraha, but it is theoretical. 258 kg is the weight value you'd be thinking of on his first weighing. Later weighing, he was longer in length and bottomed out a 272 kg scale. Then another male in Chitwan was larger than him in frame and also bottomed out the 272 kg scale. Madla is also another cat that probably easily is above 250 kg, I went over his allometry in the freak specimen thread. Small sample size, already 3 250+ kg tigers. 250 kg surely isn't the limit from this data, especially when scales of 272 kg are being bottomed out.
Also, Pantherinae, do you have an estimate of the frame difference between Aslan and Bamera. I'm sure you've been Aslan up close, how close were you to Bamera?
