In Bandhavgarh, I believe Jobhi is clearly bigger and more powerful than Bamera.  My estimation is 220-240kg for Bamera.  Munna is an enigma, some people say he is very big, some say he is just above average. By the pictures alone, "just above average" seems to be a more precise definition, although he is certanly a tremendous fighter, no doubts.
I have the feeling that Jai is the largest known Central/South tiger in India. I say "known" because we have pics/information of few reserves  from these regions: Tadoba, Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Bandipur, sometimes a tiger from Pench. But nothing or almost nothing from Peryiar, Panna, Melghat, Badra, Anamalai etc. Certainly there are some very large tigers over there  !!
Considering that T-24 is ( was) a 240kg tiger, is it an absurd to believe that Jai is a 260 or even 270kg tiger?? He looks to be almost as big as the the young Waghdoh. Only Terai and Assam tigers look like to be more impressive than Jai nowadays.

He was said to have lost some pounds and appeared weak.

Ustaad (T24) was actually weighed. Thanks to the Biologist Dharmendra Khandal for sharing and confirming it with me.
T24 was weighed in 2009, when he was a subadult (around 3.5 years old). He weighed in at 240Kg, this was confirmed by the doctor who weighed and treated him.
T24 was born in Jan 2006 and weighed in April 2009.
The most important thing to remember here is that he was weighed when he was treated for his leg injury, Ustaad was in a bad shape and treated for 4 days. So IMO its possible that he could have weighed another 10Kg more in healthy conditions as a subadult.

Through another source I got an information that T24 was estimated to weigh around 600lbs when he was sedated at present (for the stomach treatment). They darted him with this dosage, but unfortunately it didnt bring him down so more dosage was used again. So its possible for T24 to weigh in around 600lbs at present, but I dont know whether he was weighed again this time.

The funny part is T24 is not the biggest tiger in Ranthambore, infact he is not the biggest in his own family. T25 aka Dollar (his brother) is the biggest in the family and T28 aka star male is the biggest known tiger in the park.
 

 


 

@Apollo, could you please show the reference or the personal communication that states the weight of Ustad (T24)? It will be perfect to use it, as the male was over 3 years old and the new report of @Pckts shows that in its adulthood, this tiger now weighs 250 kg, proved by scientists and un-baited!

RE: Tiger Directory - GuateGojira - 06-17-2015

Thank you very much @Apollo, so now we have two males from Ranthambore, paradoxically none of them above 4 years old, but as most of tiger documents states that above 3 years is already "adult", we can use those weights (220 kg and 240 kg).

Now, the question of the million dollars: are body measurements available? Besides, is the new figure of 250 kg of T-24, as full adult, real or an estimate?

These are the questions that I need. For the moment, the figure of 240 kg will be included in the list. Again, thank you very much! [img]images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]

We know for a fact that they were taken, the images show that.
Just hope we can get them to compare to others.
Would be awesome to have a real life modern measurement that we all have been witness to the actual tiger.
Could really be helpful when comparing other Ranth tigers body weight and measurements.
