There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I don't think so at all. A very big male lion can be 250 kg, then a very big Central Tiger can be 300 kg that I'm quite sure of.
Your "the guy" is Sharad Vats, aint it!? He thinks Kanha's Bhima weighted 280kg (REALLY???!!!!!)....& that Umarpani is largest ma!e of India...
He's kinda (read: extremely) biased towards his fav. Kanha males (makes sense there, he's only human). He is no expert (wildlife photographers, no matter how experienced or skilled, don't count) & have NEVERweighed a tiger.
He just threw a random number...
