A 2.5 year old is a juvenile tiger. At that age he was almost 500 lbs. That means when he was a fully-grown mature male, he likely weighed between 240 - 300 kg.

Do you know how much he weighed as a full-grown adult?

He was never weighed as an adult unfortunately. 
Kanha had quite a few big youngsters.

Its a shame that huge males like Bheema, Umarpani and Kingfisher and others were never weighed. Those are most definitely some tigers of very impressive weights.

Sharad Vats thought that if Umarpani (in his prime) had been weighed and measured, he would have broken some weight and size records.

You can get a good idea of his size based off of him compared to MV-2 who weighed 195kg.

My guess is between 250-280kg.

And garhi looked even bigger than uma , when they interacted . Reply
