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.

Not a chance, and the 185kg for Gabbar is way to low IMO.
These are estimates for sure, and some scientists estimate far to low and even the alleged weights we hears sometimes are very vague from their sources. Like the Romeo 180kg est then the others saying that was not true at all. 85kg for any Tiger is either very young or extremely sick. I think the rule of thumb should be this
Territory holding, good shape males are 200-230kg females 150-180kg, Bigger specimens are the exception but not uncommon. At least that seems what all available data points to.

Also @Roflcopters, great research and taking the time to email. Always good to get these guys opinions, tfs.
