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.
all this going back and forth proves nothing without actual weights. that’s why all these picture comparisons and stuff are flawed methods to judge a tiger’s true size. if everyone had the ability to judge, we would all be experts. “ Jai “ when he was weighed, apparently weighed 238kg. scale was somehow corrected and he scraped 220kg. Bamera was also a bulky tiger, whether he was 220kg or 240kg. that i don’t think we can call out. did he compare with Jai? possibly but we wouldn’t know since we never got anything about Bamera. same goes with B2, arguably one of the biggest tiger in his prime days. give and take, most of these Central Indian males can be anywhere from 180-250kg on average, some would even exceed those numbers. (struggling males tend to be on the lower end of the scale and any healthy male should be in the mid to higher tier weight range.
