Modern weights and measurements on wild tigers

[Ashutosh]

Very well said @Roflcopters. There are certain people who will never be convinced no matter what. Just because either the said information doesn’t align with their preconceived notions or they are just mad that they were somehow not a part of obtaining such information. 
Questioning an expert is fine but saying things like “I wasn’t there so how could I believe it” are the sort of nonsensical arguments are bandied around. It really isn’t worth one’s time and effort to engage them.

Anyway, the tiger that weighed 340 kilos even if full-bellied would be around 290 kilos in weight. No tiger is eating more than 1/6th of their body weight in one sitting. As you said, the female next to him is probably in the 95+ percentile in relation to weights as she weighs 180 kilos (I only know of Machli who weighed 175 kilos and her daughter ST1 who weighed 170 kilos) and he completely dwarfs her.
