Thank you, but that is just a preliminary report, do not show any weight. In that page that you say did mention that they made estimations about the body mass previous de darting and that is correct, but the weight of 220-230 kg is the real weight "adjusted". Now, check this document that was provided to me, here are the real estimations prior to the actual weighing event:yes but old male weight is 240 after* but in second capture its 250, and madla they have written only 250here , as in book its too written 250kg also , now here is the video of capture of madla  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX58LfNBpq0&t=2s  , it looks to me (i could be 100% wrong) he didn't weighted madla becoz he didn't had any weigh in equipment neither enough people to lift madla , you need 8-10 people to lift such heavy tiger , may be before darting he had madla 220-230kg estimate and after taking measurements he estimated madla 250kg(rough chest girth equation) . also madla neck girth a lot larger than modern panna tigers and sauraha male(261kg) , madla canines are larger than sauraha . he looks very longer in the video . tigers a lot avg built have weighted around 220. that 215kg corbett male looks tiny when u compare its lying body with madla . if its indeed 230kg empty then its okkkkk .....................

Here you can see the estimated weight and the real weight in parentesis. Madla was estimated at 250 kg and did weighed that much with stomach content, but latter they substracter 20-30 kg and they made that calculation of 220-230 kg. Certainly it was a big male, and taking in count the amount of food intake actually measured from the other male (19 kg), the real weight of Madla was 230 kg empty, maybe a little more.
