They reply very quick....

I finally received a reply from the Bhutan Tiger Center confirming these 3 weights.

However, I found the original conversation between the person that presented this image and them.

Interestingly, when we see the original question we can see that he asked for how many adult males they weighed, and they clearly answered that they have 3. They do not mention the male of 170 kg, BUT we need to remember that sometimes the news papers provide round numbers, so is possible that the male of 170 kg is the one of 165 kg.

Base on this and in the Messenger conversation (is not an email) the Bhutan male tigers recorded are only 3, not 4.

The first thing was to confirm if the information on that website for the male of 170 kg was true. After they replied to me I asked for other males and they provided me weights of 165, 180 and 210 kg. And after that asked if these males were adults and they said yes. Reply
