This male of about seven years know as Luk is now the heaviest male on record in the Amur region. When he was less than 3 years, he weighed 150 kg.

Also, she show me this page: http://www.tendua.org/2,002/reports,008/with-love-from-the-amur-tiger,087.html
Here are the measurements of the previous heaviest Amur tiger on record (207 kg), which aparently, was still not fully grow, maybe just above de 3-4 years, check the image:

Check these canines, they are still white and measured 5.6 cm:

Here we can see that he has no stomach content:

Interesting, the tigers in this region, at the south of Prymore, are slightly heavier than those of Sikhote-Alin area. Besides, the morphology of the young Banzai, at the moment of its capture, resemble more those of the Bengal tigers than those of the Amur. Now, 3 years latter, he is probably much larger and heavier, maybe as much as Luk. Check his image at 2013:

Hi

Do you know if Luk was adjustet for stomach content?

 

 
Hello Jubatus, nice to meet you.

In fact, the scientists in the Russian Far East do present the healthy state and stomach content of some of the captured tigers. From almost 40 specimens that I have collected since 1992, only three specimens presented stomach content, which means that about 93% of the captured tigers in Russia are empty belly. This is logic, because tigers in this area are unable to hunt as much as any other cat, specially by the incredible low prey base. That is also a reason of why these great cats don't weigh as much as in old days.

By the way, is important to see in the picture, that the belly of Banzai is plain, which mean that it was empty. Other important thing is that that Amur tigers are never baited, they are captured by snares or by helicopter in the field.

Hope this helps.

Unidentified male from Russian Far East (June 2014) - Sikhote Alin regeion


*This image is copyright of its original author



*This image is copyright of its original author



*This image is copyright of its original author


The first images of Amur tigers at the Sikhote-Alin Nature Reserve have been recorded by camera traps purchased with the help of the Beautiful Children in a Beautiful World Foundation.

 

In April 2014, the management of the Sikhote-Alin Nature Reserve received funding from the charitable foundation to carry out the Striped Neighbour project, which aims to study and protect the Amur tiger population, a national symbol of Russia.

 

The camera traps have been installed in the areas most frequented by Amur tigers, including main paths and marked trees. Each tiger has a unique stripe pattern, allowing researchers to identify the tigers photographed by camera traps and to count all the tigers roaming the reserve.

 

The first check of the camera traps revealed that one particular location is especially popular with the predators, resulting in images of four different tigers and a brown bear. The tigers are well known to researchers and have already been named: Varvara, Murzik, Mira and the male Dzhigit. The latter was first sighted in the reserve in 2011. The images suggest that Varvara has already parted ways with her offspring, after teaching them how to survive in the wilderness, and is now ready to mate again. Experts at the nature reserve hope to spot her offspring soon, and they also expect her to give birth to a new litter in the near future.

 

The Bushnell digital camera traps are absolutely silent and feature an invisible infrared flash, so they don’t disturb the animals in any way.

 

Experts hope that these unobtrusive and well-camouflaged devices will provide many interesting images and video clips of tigers and other animals, and lead to new insights into the lives of the taiga dwellers.

Here is another reason why weight numbers are fluctuated and random at times.
Notice the tigers legs hanging off the scale, while most of the weight is distributed towards the gurney, those limbs still weigh something, the bones, muscle, fat and paws. All are kg's unaccounted for.
