Experience with Wild Cats

[Pantherinae]

'Pckts dateline='' Wrote: Nice info. I definitely would not say "fairytale weight" for the simply fact of Madla being 260kg+ just to use a recent tiger and Kaziranga tigers are definitely larger than madla. 40kg's more is definintely possible IMO.

Eye witness who Photographed KZT023 said he was larger than any tiger he had seen in Tadoba. 
Waghdoh, Jai, Bamera where all stated by name as wel.
It's on here if you haven't seen it.

Any way,
I bet that Koning male is massive, probably close to 250kg+ if he is larger than Bamera. It is probably also really hard to tell exactly because they carry weight differently as well as distant from each animal.
Thanks again. 

 

Well it's sad that we can only estimate the weight of Madla, but sure a massive tiger! My dad has seen alot of tigers and lions, and he said following weights on animals in his estimates, all notch boys where between 185-210 kg, B2: 210-220 kg (he said he was massive, but extremly short), T-24: 220-235, bamera: 225-240 kg, koning male 230-245 kg, and he said wagdoh where maybe 240-260 kg. 

KZT-023 is a massive beast, but he is a little, fat! He is looking like a very big framed tiger, but his hips do look a little thin. I have seen even more impressive tigers from Kaziranga ( but that's on camera traps, and thats a little hard to estimate size from)! They are definatly the biggest cats alive, but still 300 seem a little to much IMO, but who knows if they exists that's probably in Kaziranga. 
You do hear of lions from mount Kenya who is 270 kg, but to me it's a little to extreme, if there do exist lions at 270 kg's that's probably in Okavango delta! But probably not. 

BTW i respectb you're knowledge of cats, and it's fun to discuss with you! You seem fair, and do not seem to be a fanatic at all, and that's how it should be, no lion or tiger fanatics, who try's to make the other animal look bad, that makes me angry and sad. They are both fantastic and amazing animals!
