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.

If this is true (population) it  means a lot to the overall average for tiger weight.

I'm sure someone knows more of the population of sunderban tigers here

 

There weight is added in the Table available here. 
There weight would obviously bring down the average but they are a different sub species so they need to be treated as such. It would be the same as adding Asiatic Lions and Waza Lions to the average of all lions. 

I think lions and tiger weight can and is higher than we give it credit for, which is usually the case in science, be conservative when uncertain.

For Tigers:
Corbett and Kaziranga, Terai Arc, etc. Have no weights attributed to them that we use in the tables

For Lions: Crater, Okavango, Kruger have no weights attributed to them that we use in the tables

My guess if talking about the Average Indian Bengal around 215kg would jump to the 220-230kg average if we added some of those individuals and African Lion averages would jump from 185kg to 210kg or so. But that is just a estimate obviously
