Maximum size of prey that a single male lion or tiger can kill

Quote:@Pckts @GuateGojira, latest research into average prey size of Indochinese tigers revealed that average weight of banteng and gaurs predated was close to 400 kilograms. That is higher than Nagarhole research and shows a presence of a decent number of adult male gaurs. If anything, it tells you, that prey size is not THE most important factor (it maybe A factor but not the mist important one) when tigers make their kills.

I'm not sure what criteria they use to determine a mean weight but I again assume it's scat samples and carcasses found.
A round number like 1000kg is easy to use but how often is the prey that's claimed to be that actually weighed and confirmed. 
If I remember correctly, very few of the actually weighed Gaur were 1000kg outside of South East Asia. Reply
