Thanks for the information

235 kg came from a sample in Terai, it is real and reliable data (the animals were later adjusted and bit less than 235 kg)

But discussion about adjusting is useless as a large portion of food eaten is assimilated into body, thanks to high metabolism of felines. So adjusting is okay to be done only if the animal was captured right after eating.

Looking at data from scientific sources/modern sources with age of the animals known, average was 220 kg Reply
