Guys great thread you gut going, I honestly have to say these tigers really seem to be pretty strong looking over all, I mean they look big too, do you have any weight estimates on them, they do seem pretty impressive!!

Noooooooooo!!!.. You HAD to ask for weight estimates!?!?!?! (Some people just want to watch the world burn)


Yeah because I was in a debate with some guys on youtube, and they said to come on here, the whole debate was are tigers bigger than lions.  I said I think the tigers bigger, and a few guys well actually it was about two were saying only the scientific weight measurements are what matters.  So it was these guys taking on all these other people that were saying the tiger was larger and asking us to post scientific proof they are bigger, verified weights, I really didn't have the info to prove anything.  So I'm actually looking for scientific weights not really estimates.
Well..@Haymaker wanted scientific weight estimates, lemme give mine, never done it before!!! Let's use some measured celebs as standard...

While a below 200kg tiger is considered sub-par, most non-dominant males never cross 225kgs/500lbs.
As i had presented in my post where I suggested you the links, T24 aka USTAD of Ranthambore was weighed 240kgs..MATKASUR, SATURN seems to be of similar size at best.

A close family-friend of mine saw both BAMERA & T25, USTAD's brother of similar stature, from similar distance...he stated BAMERA to be "similarly-sized but bulkier", so 250kg maybe..Also, "T42 aka FATEH & T28 are Ranth's largest, probably larger but visibly leaner than him" (Quoted remarks are his opinion & while I myself trust them, others are free to agree to disagree)..

MADLA bottomed a 2.5quintal scale, so, he was probably about 260kgs, Corbett's KHALI looks equaly tall & muscular...

SAURAHA was 270kgs+ confirmed & some those TERAI/ASSAM MALES, Nagarjun-Sagar's T1 might be of that level...

To cross the 300kgs mark, I believe muscle-mass ain't enough, the tiger will have to be big & bulky as well as blubbery..Atleast on the borderline of being obese, WAGDOH & KZT-083 might have had it in them during their prime!!!

(You do understand that 10-15 kg are nothing to a tiger, they can gain/lose that much weight in a week!!!..)

These are the records that were deemed worthy of making their way into the books, while thousands of normal ones have been lost.

Also, some are more of wishful assumptions, than accurate measurements...
Think, is it possible that Mazak took a took a 400kg scale with him deep in the mountains & managed to weigh such a beast without any mechanical help??!!!


RE: Tiger Directory - TheLioness - 03-19-2017

What a very intelligent un-biased post pckts! I agree 100%

What if a coalition of large male tigers, after a long day walk resting in a water hole together. What would they look like? well.. perhaps something like this


*This image is copyright of its original author


i know this is something that will never happen, but it's fun to imagine  Lol


RE: Tiger Directory - peter - 04-02-2017

PHATIO

Apparently, it did happen. Not in India, but in China.  

I don't know if prime males were involved, but everything I found points in that direction.

I'm trying to sort it out. When done, I'll post about it in the tiger extinction thread.

Yes Prince aka Raja from Bandipur is no more.
Details of his death is not available at the moment.
He was found dead in Kundkere range in Bandipur.

May his soul RIP.
