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.

After all, I heavily doubt that modern Indian lions average 180 kg or male tigers average 240 kg (the same for females). For me, all the figures look like maximum figures.
Other important thing, remember that some tigers were weighed in Kanha? Two of them were large adult males, among them the famous Konda (T-7). It is possible that this weight of 240 kg (unbaited) could belong to this famous male (T-7), or to the other male captured (Punchkatta - T-6)?
If Dr Jhala could clarified this, it would be great. [img]images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
that's interesting and i remember you talking about a tiger named "Saja" from Kanha that also weighed around 240kg.. Do you still have the source? It would be nice if we can sort this out with Dr.Jhala. [img]images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]
