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.

Yes they do exist, I believe taking India as a whole, 200 kg is average, for most parts of India. 220-230 kg, full belly, average depends on the region, which is rare such as Nepal, Central India.
Please read again, I did not said that 230 kg is "average", I said that is a "mode" which is another statistical measurement, and that is what the graphic shows. This sample do not used any "gorged" or "full of beef" weight, and those from tigers reported as baited were adjusted by 17 - 30 kg, depending of the author and method.
200 kg is an average overall, as include some hunting specimens that certainly were young or ill, but when we use only "adults" over 3 years old and "adjusted" from the modern records we got an average of 212 kg.
