You know even I had the same exact query in my mind. Not just regarding Bheema , but Banda and Konda as well. As far as I know , only Punchkatta's weight was verified. I'm quite new to this whole weight debate but back in the days , you guys were collecting a lot of info on the weight of Indian tigers . So , does anyone here know who was the vet/field biologist in charge for the capture of all those Kanha males (specifically Konda and Banda) ? Because I can only see Min Ha confirmed their weights but I'm not sure if he was actually involved in the capture of these specimens . If anyone knows more about the capture details of Banda and Konda , please enlighten.

most of the Kanha weights advertised are just word of mouth, a whole bunch of what this *researcher said* or what this *Wildlife Institute of India scientist told me*. this debate has never moved past the point of Vijay Rajan and Minh Ha’s statements. proceed with extreme caution when taking any of these weights into consideration. it’s been close to almost 10 years and i have yet to see concrete evidence of any of these claims.

You have Dr. Jhala and

You also have Kankatta quoted in literature as well. 

“Proceeded with caution” has more to do with your animosity towards Vijay since you were his reason for leaving WF.
No offense, but he’s far more reliable thank just some fly by night quote. Reply
