Modern weights and measurements on wild tigers

[Mapokser]

Estimating big cat weights through videos is extremely difficult.

Even when you have these cats side by side to compare, as well as them with females and many statements from guides and people seeing them in person, you'd still only be able to make at best an educated guess that may still be quite off the real number.

Without any real weight or measurements to go of, like from another tiger he was seen with or something like that, it's almost just a guessing game.

So well, I guess I can play, from my perspective in these videos the tiger in question seems to be particularly short at the shoulder, but with a long body. His chest seems be of a good girth but I'm not entirely sure.

I'd estimate him at around 200kg, but as I said, an estimation like this is just a guess and might be far from reality. Without weighting him or at least measuring him, we can't know for sure. Reply
