There are many kind of hunting records, from some there is more information available while others are very vague. People are naturally free to choose what they believe. Guinness World Records is one good example, they have during time changed information for various reasons. They had in past for instance mentioned, that great white sharks could be 12 meters long, for some reason you don´t find such information anymore from them But if someone has Guinness Book of Records from 1970-1977 there it is. But in past many sources, which were considered as reliable, published a lot of rubbish creating many false expectations.

I personally believe, that exceptional tigers around 300 kg are possible, but if there is a claim, that clearly more, the more skeptic I become. 320 kg, why not, 350 kg.... I want to see someone confident enough to publish it with documentation before I believe. This is of course my personal opinion, not something to debate. 

For me that table of Guate looks ok. Reply
