Who is the "king" of tigers? - Bengal or Amur

Posts 172 and 173 sum up the reasoning well, in my opinion. Other than the Nagarhole oddity, all other weights were unadjusted by top scientists, from Sunquist to Berry, which in a way is a vouch to the concensus. Gorged specimens should always be noted nonetheless, but your average, not really visible belly distention intake probably is not significant as realistically one would expect most organisms to have some content in the tracts at all times, and those contents are essentially part of the functional weight. In the morphological studies of other species (many who eat constantly throughout the day as well, so a high expected weight of contents in the tract), I've not really heard of issues with food intake either.  Reply
