Yes, several specimens measured in the field weighed much more than 260 kg, that is for sure. This is just my figure for the normal largest males, like a trademark for a large Indian tiger.

My point its that this debate is based in biased estimation, instead of real measurements. You complain for the white tiger picture, despite the evidence of direct witness of it, however here you base your statements in "testimonies" of unknown people and pictures from different angles with no comparison points. Beautiful pictures, yes, but evidence of "something", of course not.

Has any here tried, at least, to found the email of Indian scientists that have radiocollared tigers lately, like for example, Konda (T-7)? He was radiocollared and weighed with a GPS collar the 28 of October of 2007, there is also another dominant male from Kanha named Punchkatta (T-6) radiocollared the 17 of October of 2007, so there most be a person with those records over there.
 

 

There were several tigers collared in Kanha for studies and research.
10 tigers were collared in Kanha during 2004-2009 period.
