Thank you for showing interest in my research. The weight of Bengal tigers varied from 200 - 280 kg (adult males, however, there are exceptions) & 110 - 180 kg (adult females in general). Ranthambore tigers were one of the largest amongst the tigers my PhD supervisor caught for collaring.

This gives a really good insight about tigers captured in India. 

Here's what I make of this - 

1. Researchers consider the normal range as 200 to 280 kg
2. Tigers below 200 kg and above 280 kg are considered exceptions
3. Tigers larger than 280 kg have been captured


Pls PM me if you wish to know who was the researcher...

Good job,I want to know too,by PM. Reply
