I just spoke with someone who works for a Tiger Reserve
His Responses below:
"The largest Tigers he's weighed are
345kgs and 13.3 feet and he also said he has one that weighed almost
400kg "
When I asked if these were estimates or he weighed them on a scale he said a scale.
Now I know these numbers seem crazy, I asked him for an image of the large Tigers and obliged with one of the largest looking males I have ever seen.
The male is shown with a female and the female aged 6 and weighed almost 180kg "Thats my male infront of six years old age tigress almost 180 kgs now you can think of his size"
and the male makes her look like a cub.
Out of respect for his wishes I promised not to share the image in public since the images are from his camera trap and he doesn't want the location getting out. "But plz don't share i dont my tat tier to be poached i need his jeans"
All I can say is that the reserve is in the Terai Arc area and he has many images of him working with wildlife on his FB page. There are a few of you I'd be willing to share the image with and the name of the person (DM me).
But the others who I cannot, just know that I've been viewing big cats for a long time and I'd like to think that I'm a trustworthy person when it comes to information so trust me when I tell you that the person and tiger photo are very legit.
Obviously this isn't "verified" per say and the numbers seem extreme but taking the source and the image into account, I'm not willing to completely disregard it.
