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.

What do you mean by this statement?
 What do you mean "normal weight"? 
Weights adjusted for stomach content must always be considered as the normal weights of an animal because that is the real weight or on an empty stomach precisely for the reason that the stomach weight is based 100% on the body mass of that animal without that external corpses such as food interfere or influence the whole.
Yeah but sadly "empty stomach" isnt normal in weight datas. The 42 adult males from C.India werent adjusted and weighed 190.5 kg. Just like the 44 males shot by C.Behaar and the males killed in terai. Thats the reason why you have to seperate it. The only datas that adjusted their specimens in large samples were Bertram and Smuts

About the crater males i said about. Though i dont know if any cat population can reach 220 kg if unsucessfull males are included (Even those in Pillibhit and Corbett are of 170-180 even though the corbett male was a large one). Maybe in some areas but not on an empty stomach thats for sure.
