The largest male Amur was 254kg but there was another male Amur of 249kg but his body was in eviscerated condition and his real weight might’ve actually been upto 270kg so that 249kg Amur was probably larger than the 254kg one.

And 320kg and 318kg Bengals have also been recorded but Guate said that he decided not to include those males because they were exceptional.

Thanks
I'm thinking the tiger in bad condition you said (would have been 270 kgs, that one) was not included because only if it's weighed at 270, it'll be included? No estimates are used in charts? Reply
