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.

Thanks for the information
235 kg came from a sample in Terai, it is real and reliable data (the animals were later adjusted and bit less than 235 kg)
But discussion about adjusting is useless as a large portion of food eaten is assimilated into body, thanks to high metabolism of felines. So adjusting is okay to be done only if the animal was captured right after eating.
Looking at data from scientific sources/modern sources with age of the animals known, average was 220 kg
