Modern weights and measurements on wild tigers

[Pantherinae]

@Roflcopters your last two post are superb! 
And yes I agree I struggled to believe that 388.7 kg, I even struggled to believe a tiger could be 300 kg today. 
As being more into lions I could see some enormous male lions rarely surpassing 250 kg. And I found it hard to believe a tiger could be that much heavier, but now that has changed lately you can see some tigers being so massive it's just ridiculous. 

I at least thought that Tigers from central India was more or less the same about 220-250 kg at maximum, but when you see MB2 at 197 kg just above 2 years, in a very bad period (weight wise) side by side with an adult male dwarfing him just days before being weighed. You start to think how big those Central males are too. 

Today I walk around knowing that a few 340-350 kg male tigers do roam the forests of Terai. And that is just insane. If that tigress is 180 kg it's hard to argue that this cat isn't a 300+ kg cat!

This is one of the most impressive males I have ever seen from Katerniaghat (India) with connection to Dudhwa (Nepal). 
He's muscular from nose to tail. Reply
