Edit:
Here is the 180kg Tigress and I'm looking for the 170kg Male
The 180kg Tigress was given by Valmik Thapar

"Tigress Noon weighs close to 180 kg. Laxmi was few cm longer than noon and heavier. Nalghati tigress is heavily built than noon. Both Laxmi and Nalghati tigress must be above 180 kgs.

Recently a tigress was relocated from Ranthambore to another tiger reserve. She weighed about 170 Kg.

"A new tigress arrived at Sariska tiger reserve on Friday. The three-year-old, 170-kg animal was airlifted from Ranthambore tiger reserve, and was brought in the hope that she will form one half of a breeding pair,..." Source

Some photos of ranthambore tigresses, "



Here is the tiger they were talking about, it was a sub adult Tigress who they were transferring to Sariska
"A tigress, about three to four years old, was brought to Sariska from Ranthambore national park by a helicopter. It reached at around 11.45 am today (Friday)," a state government official said.

He said the tiger is about 160-170 kg and is being kept in a separate enclosure. "

And this is the Male that was transferred with them, I believe

T10 was translocated to Sariska in 2008.
He weighed in at 220Kg at 4 years during translocation.
But unfortunately he died, the reason could be either poisoning or territorial battle.

One of the articles misquotes a males weight at trans-location at 170kg when really it was the female. Reply
