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.

Did I forget this image?

What about this image?
There's no weight attached to it nor is there even a sex applied to it.

"weighing a kill as often as possible" which wasn't often at all and I've already posted where they speak about not weighing the animals and estimating the size.
And again, no notation on weights of "bulls killed by Tigers"

These are estimates since the Carcasses of course were fed on and again we don't know which were weighed and which were estimated but according to the actual study, almost all presented were estimated and not weighed outright. 

ADM/Prime and everything in between is loose to claim it's a 1000kg Gaur, since they come in many sizes.
Hence the huge range from 500-1000kg


Why don't you just get in contact with Karanth or Sunquist and ask them if they actually found a carcass killed by a Tiger and weighed it at 1000kg?
I emailed Karanth but it got shot back so I don't know if you have a better email address or not.
