Yeah I dont believe in those numbers, just shared as it shows how they measure bigcats now a days.

From what I can hear, they were in a hurry and just because someone requested them to take the measurements, they allowed it. They skipped the paws. Most probably didn't weigh her either. 

The measuring tape was 60" with a couple of extra inches left on the end. Tigress's body took the whole tape and still a few inches were left I believe. Give or take 67" or 170.2 cm for the body and as they said in the video, 23" / 58.4 cm for the tail. Total being 90" / 228.6 cm. Tail at 23" / 58.4 cm is quite short. Couldn't get the shoulder height. 

Edit: This is weird. I rewatched it and in the first go, they actually measured her total length to be about 102" / 259.1 cm. First the body which took whole length of the tape and couple of extra inches (63"), then kept a finger on the point they left at, then measured again which added 39". I took 39" from when then tail was on ground. They proceeded to pick the tail up to measure it which I think might have created an error. Then the tail measured separately gave 23" / 58.4 cm. 

Subtracting tail length from the total length, the body would be 79" / 200.7 cm.

No Tigress will be 200cm in HBL

What is the average weight of tigers bro

Around 200kgs is a good average for male Bengals.

jhala states 200 to 260 is normal range in his journal . https://www.researchgate.net/publication...ing_Tigers , the vet khandal of ranthambhors says most of the tigers are between 220 to 260 in ranthambhore . avg should be somewhere in middle of the range or slightly tilted towards lower end , not exactly lowest. avg is lower is some parks where they dont work i understand , but it should be something more than 200kg .

The real average for any substantial data base is going to be around 200kg. We're talking real verifiable data, a larger male will surely be in the 250kg range while a smaller will be in the 185kg range. You'll see outliers for above and below but not in any real significant numbers.

nepal journal which had range 200 to 261 had avg of 235kg , its tough to predict the avg exactly unless you know how many males are territorial and how many small size males are there , if u take range 180 to 250 in many parks like of south india or tadoba then again avg would hover around mid of the range , smuts lions ranged from 150 to 225 and avg was 187.5 , exactly in the middle , if u exactly know how many tigers are big and how many small then its okk.

Averages are meaningless, some tigers are going to be 185kg some are going to be 280kg and everything in between. Generally speaking no matter the location, if you have an ample sample size the averages will drift towards that 200kg. But you're just as likely to find a 185kg Tiger as you are a 280kg Tiger. Some areas are going to have a propensity to have larger Tigers than others, but that just means you're more likely to find higher weighing Tigers there but doesn't mean they won't have smaller sized ones as well, just not as likely.

i am  talking about normal range stated by scientist jhala or khandal , eliminating exceptional large or exceptional small wandering tigers, khandal says most of tigers are between 220 to 260 in ranthambhore then how avg is 200, normal range stated by  jhala in his paper is 200 to 260 , then how avg is 200 ? we have to consider the fact that jhala and khandal are not youtube or wildfact fanboys they are scientist and vet .

Jhala is per comm. 
There is no real verified weights or significant sample size. I can present you with a verified data base with a large amount of cats from all over India. 
Brander, Cooch Behar, Hewett and any other of theses captures mentioned, you add them to the data base and you're going to have an average of around 200kg.

Once again, we're talking about verified and presented data. Captures, weights, measurements, stomach content, etc. all provided. For someone like Jhala or Khandal that's not the case. On top of that, like I stated, different parks will have larger or smaller specimens. Kanha will have the largest of C. Indian Tigers and Ranth. should be there as well but even so from both parks you have males that were less than 200kg and males that were over 280kg. Reply
