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.

Modern weights and measurements on wild tigers

Weights of these specimens really tell you the average tiger weights of a tiger holding onto a territory in it’s landscape. Now, this 180 kilo tiger was clearly too small to establish a territory and protect it giving an indication as to the average weight of territory holding tigers to be above 200 kilos at the very least with some big males being considerably large.

The thing is, you see a few of the weights of the transient tigers who can’t establish their ranges and are found prowling the fringes of forests of Terai, and they are closer to 200 kilos, one even weighed 210 kilos from 2012. That kind of proves the average weight of males in Terai to be more than Central India (I mean we know that’s the case from pictures and weights as well) and more by some margin as well, maybe 20-25 kilos more on average with some absolutely exceptional specimens.

Similar to Central India, tigers from Western ghats who are prowling on the edges of the forest, lifting cattle and searching for territory from around Bandipur-Nagarhole also weigh around 170-190 kilos reflecting the average weight in those landscapes to be about 200 kilos.
