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.

In Gilbert et al. (2015), there is a tiger named T16/PT90 who died  of “canine distemper”. This tiger seemed to have been permanently maimed by a snare he broke. I infer Ivan and T16/PT90 from Gilbert et al. are the same and this Ivan was about 200 kg before losing half its weight per a post I read by @GuateGojira on the old boards (@GuateGojira could you confirm this and the source?).

The document that I have is this: Goodrich et al., 2012. CHAPTER 11 - Tooth breakage in tigers: cause for conflict? in "Diseases and parasites of wildlife in Siberia and the Russian Far East - Monograph". In page No. 113 they mention this male tiger of 200 kg and about 7 years old but they did not identify him.

In a document of Dr Miller of 2012 (his thesis) I found the male tiger named "Ivan" with Id Pt-90 that weighed 200 kg and had an estimated age of 10 years and captured in the Fall of 2009, that is the information that I used for my table of 2015. In the report of the WCS-STP of July 2007-June 2008 they mention a tiger identified as "T-09" that was radiocollared and tagged as "PT-85", that male weighed 200 kg and had an age of about 8 years old and was radiocollared in this period. The report also mention the male T-16 but it was not captured.This is the picture of the  male T-09 latter known as PT-85 with 200 kg:

So, as far I know T-16 was not captured but I remember a webpage that says that it was huge (supported by the picture that you have). About the other two male tigers (T-09--Pt-85 and Pt-90--Ivan, both of them weighed 200 kg. That is the information that I have.
