He was hungry therefore attacked the villager nearby, therefore we can assume he was empty-bellied during the sedation.

Do you have any verification of his weight?
That would put him near the males weighed in Kanha at the same age who bottomed 225kg scales.

He was sedated and captured alive, most likely got weighed by the authority.

Unfortunately it’s a 2nd hand source sighting officials posted on a social media sight. Can’t put much stock in that with regards to the 2-3 year old males weight. Xinhua is the same as TOI, you’d need real sources to confirm any claims. Reply
