There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

It's an impressive feat for a young Male, you can see many new images and videos of him from this year and he's become a good sized Tiger.
IMO, a very large Male Lion or Tiger should be able to drag 1000kg for a short distance if the terrain isn't too harsh.
Something like that I think too when combining what can be seen in different videos and when looking some books and what people there tell. There are many times mentioned animals weighing between 500-1000 kg. And if someone feels, that it is not so much, just find somewhere a good big sack, put there one ton of sand and try to pull...... That kind of reality check is healthy time to time. Something different than pushing or pulling a car.
