This was the exact email I sent, the reply wasn't really detailed but straight to the point. Also, when Gabbar and Choti Wara were radio-collared. the WII team never weighed them and grossly underestimated their weights. Everyone i spoke to also agreed that an adult female from Tadoba weighing 85kg is impossible, that's the weight of a dying and malnourished tigress and Choti Tara is pretty big. Gabbar also was misquoted as 185kg and was never weighed. 

Besides the Panna males from Central India, the only adult male they managed to get their hands on also was too big for the 200-220kg dosage that they thought he would require, the dosage would've worked well on a male tiger of that size but this male proved to be too big and required an additional 1.2 ml dosage.

In the end, they published this

The Adult female : 145kg
The Adult male : over 200kg + (2.5ml dosage that works well for a tiger around 200-220kg failed on this guy, an additional dosage of 1.2ml was required) 
The Sub-adult male : 180kg 

After carefully analyzing everything, I've come to a conclusion that they didn't have a scale capacity of over 200kg and that was the very maximum they could do with that male tiger. safe bet?
