Where is the biggest bengal tigers?

[Apollo]

IMO I think we've been underestimating the size of Bengal tigers all along.

I would say healthy male bengals should average around 245-250 Kgs. Anything less wouldnt workout. 

Kanha males
Bheema exceeded 225kgs scale at 2.5 years subadult.
Konda exceeded 225Kgs scale as an adult.
Banda exceeded 225Kgs scale as an adult.
Laxmi male (male tiger killed by Konda) exceeded 225kgs scale when dead.
Poochkanta male exceeded 225kgs as a subadult.

You see even subadults were exceeding 225kgs mark. Bheema was never considered a huge tiger when he was 2.5 years. But males like Konda, Banda were said to be monsters.
Now imagine how much they couldve weighed with proper large scales.


Pench males
BMW's subadult son exceeded 225kgs scale at 2.5 years when dead.
T2 adult male exceeded 200kgs scale. But you should remember that T2 adult male was estimated in at 200-220Kg and was administered 3ml sedative, but it was not enough to bring the male down so they again sedated the male with another 1.2ml sedative, which is 40% more sedative than actually required for a (200-220Kg) male. So this means the adult male was possibly heavier than their estimated weight.

When BMW's son can exceed a 225kgs scale, Imagine the monsters like BMW, Raiyakassa, Samraat, Khursapur, Tarzan etc



Umredh males
Jai weighed in 238kgs (which I doubt highly).
Bittu and Srinivas weighed in 230kgs at 2 years and 8 months.
Jaichand (another subadult cub of Jai) is bigger than both Bittu and Srinivas.




Ranthambore males
T24 weighed 240kgs at 3.5 years as a sudadult, kindly remember he was injured and in bad condition when he was weighed.

ST1 weighed in 220kgs at 3.5 years as a subadult, he was later captured as an adult and estimated 250kgs

Dollar male, Star male, Jhumroo, Fateh were all stated to be bigger males than T24.




Panna males
M91 exceeded 250kgs scale as an adult.
T3 weighed in 240kgs at 10 years (old male).
Madla exceeded 250kgs scale as an adult (remember Madla's neck girth was 10cm bigger than Sauraha male).
Hairyfoot male was the biggest of them all but unfortunately he was not weighed.


Uttar Pradesh maneater
This male weighed in 235kgs at 4 years as a subadult, he was said to be in bad shape with cataract and injuries.


Dudhwa subadult
This male weighed 210kgs at 4 years as a subadult, he was kicked out of Dudhwa core to the outskirts by the big adult males.


Well we can see a clear pattern here, healthy adult males should average 245-250 kgs. 
IMO 280+Kgs prime males is a common occurence.and not a very rare occurence. Reply
