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.
 

 

You mean I did show skepticism of a ADULT white tiger surviving in the wild until I saw enough evidence from qualified indivduals and I admitted that it is most likely true that ADULT white tigers exist in the wild.

Now onto the next claim, I never said a word about any weights, ever!
The individuals Im quotting are naturalists who live and safari in these parts. They are the reason you get to even see these images and know about the history of any of these cats. Im not quoting Bold right now, Im quotting photographers who spend every day with these cats and other wild life.

Lastly, you just proved yourself wrong.
You said you were 100% that no wild tigers weigh 260kg or above but just admitted that tigers have weighed more than that in the wild.
So what exactly are you trying to say Gaute, Im not sure I see any point here.
