Tiger Canyon - Seatao weighed 229 kg.

Hello Friends 

On the 22nd of June 2016, the male tiger Seatao was found dead in the bush at Tiger Canyons. There were no visible injuries on Seatao and no signs of a fight. It appears that Seatao died of natural causes, he was 10 years old. 

Seatao came to me as a 3 weeks old cub. The breeder who bred Seatao, never told me that he was a carrier of the rare white gene. (Seatao’s father was a white tiger and his mother was a normal tigress.)

Seatao came with a female cub called Shadow (DNA profiling later proved Seatao and Shadow were not related.)

Five years later Ron was killed in a territorial fight. Seatao found the body an

I remember vividly when attempting to weigh Seatao, it took 12 strong men to get him onto the scale. Seatao tipped the scale at 229 kg.

Seatao readily jumped onto the bonnet of the Mahindra vehicles. One could physically feel the vehicle sag under Seatao’s weight...

I dont understand one thing... If he tipped the <230kg scale at 229, can his weight assumed to be the same??!?!!!   
Because saw the video of that fight Varty filmed & remember him stating Seatao was about 240 kgs.

Same is done with Madla of Panna, everyone states his weight as 250 kilos, where actually he TIPPED scale!!!  Little help, plz...

Here is a email from Raghu Chundawat.
I hope it helps.
