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.

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 .
Yeah, a little bit for sure but he suffers more weight loss similar to CM so depending on how you catch him he could fluctuate more while Uma seemed to be more dense year round.
2 year old sub-adults virat and pandit with their mother . yes some people on social media said these sub-adults were bigger than many males they saw in central india .virat now adult male , and pandit is dead .
