'Yes, we have weighed all the individual tigers after immobilizing them before putting a radio-collar on them. The weight of the adult male tigers were in between 230 Kg to 250 Kg while the females were in between 160 Kg to 185 Kg 

have u got individual detailed data , asked about this male t113 now st29?

The info I got was regarding the specimens reintroduced during the 2008-2013 period and the researcher too no longer works there. The event you've referred to took place like 2 weeks ago iirc and I don't have any info on that male.

okk, may be they should release the booklet like panna or someone should contact the present vet , i too have heard a very large figure about st21 yuvraj and this male too looks long and heavy .

Yuvraj/St21 is probably one of the biggest tiger from his region, pretty tall at the shoulders too and has a huge frame.

Yuvraj with St9 (previously known as Bina 1, she weighed 122kg as a 2 year old cub, her sister Bina 2 or St10 from the same litter weighed 133kg). St9 in the present day probably walks around 150kg+ is my best guess. she’s a huge tigress. both the sisters are daughters of T25 aka Dollar male/Zalim and T5/Kachida tigress. they have an interesting story, both the sisters were only 4 months old when their mother T5 (Kachida tigress) died as a result of blocked intestine and to everyone’s surprise. their father (T25/Dollarmale or Zalim) helped raised the cubs and when they turned 2. they were shifted to Sariska. (we shared this in the past, back in ava days). insane, if some of these things weren’t documented. no one would have known. male tigers are probably some of the most underestimated animals in terms of their parenting capabilities and in the last decade. it’s been proven that they help raise the cubs to full maturity whenever given the chance by providing care, protection, spending quality time with their cubs and even sharing their kills to ensure the whole family eats.
