Great! Which ones? And source?

But we have more than that... like this latest one. I recieved this reply from Dr. Jhala of the WII himsellf;

Start reading from here (https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-asiatic...os?page=28) if you're interested, there's most of the data within next 3-4 pages.

I'm so sorry i completely forgot about this... Had been lying in my 'Drafts' folder.

But unfortunately, i got no more details. He gave a very short & to the point answer (i'm guessing he's used to getting bugged with mails like this).
But i am certain that he'd just provided approximate weight range, within which healthy adults usually scale. Otherwise a weight value for even a single individual can't be stated without adjoining information about its health, stomach content etc.

From what's been gathered on Wildfact, their lowest & highest weights measured in males are about 145 kg to 225 kg respectively.

This is very good information provided by an expert in the field.  Its very similar to the 160-190 kg figure for Dr. Chellam.  Basically everything else we have is either from captive stock or problem animals. Reply
