It is true that many zoos and private facilities are able to weigh them animals, however, how we can know if the presented weights are indeed reliable, nor if they are actually true?
 
I thought that you will get the point with my last post, about reliability, but it seems that the central point of it was partially avoided. Remember the case of Shere Khan, and many other great cats in captivity. One hard-core-lion-fan once published a large list of lions that apparently weighted “over 900 lb”, but ALL of them were fake. The same can by say by some other tigers lists too.
 
I think that the approach of KingTheropod must be your example. He personally wrote to the facilities and they confirmed to him the figures. As far I remember, the only tiger that surpassed 700 lb was Baikal, all the others are much less than this figure, those pure blood at least.
 
Finally, about the lioness and tigress of 500 lb, I must be sincere with you, I can’t believe those figures, in both cases. At least that these two ladies were extremely fat, they can’t be real (or normal, at least).
 
I propose you something, why you don’t write to the facilities for confirmation of the figures? Look the facts by yourself and I promise you that the result will be amazing.
