My estimate 540-600 lbs which is indeed very big for such an animal.In the first image he looks okay in build.In the second he looks little bit overweight.Image angles can be very deceptive and misleading.

That tiger isn´t Baikal. And Baikal was´t 850 lbs, it was 250 kg, which is same as approximately 551 lbs. There is more about Baikal in thread Captive Lion and Tiger weights. 

I think, that you could post more about lions and tigers in threads concerning those animals instead freak specimens. I think, that this thread is more for extraordinary and rare cases, not so much for a little bit bigger lions and tigers. I think, that 250-260 kg big cat isn´t freak, it is just big :) 300 kg is another thing then again, if really confirmed. But still for instance Captive Lion and Tiger weights is more suitable for postings, which you have shared lately.

Are you sure then which is Baikal?was he weighed 551 lbs ?if so could you post the link.I also saw another Baikal which died in a fight with younger amurs. Reply
