I got reply again concerning this possible "very big tiger", but this expert said that he simply don´t know about this case (possibly 345 kg tiger). At least not yet. He mentioned, that with full belly a tiger can have up to 40 kg extra weight. I mention this because there seem to be some different kind of opinions about it. I assume that this number is for very big male tigers, while estimations about 30 kg or so are for smaller/average individuals.

Some things stayed unclear, because this person has been busy, but he told that he checks his data sheets and then tells about that biggest tiger he had darted and weighed. I will put that information then here, that tiger is from Kanha tiger reserve."

Yes, to me has been said, that 280-290 kg. But the person with whom I have changed some emails is a very busy person. I haven´t forgot that, but I just can´t tell more until I get confirmation/more information. But yes, that weight was mentioned concerning a male tiger in Kanha and with stomach content. Sometimes it takes time with busy people. Like with Kamchatka bear Peter the Great it took something like 1-2 months and in that case I was trying to get information from the zoo. They just didn´t have time until most busy time was over. I´m very eager to know more myself too, but time will tell when it´s possible to write more. Reply
