A WILD contemporary amur tiger of almost 600 lb? If that's true, that'd be even larger than the largest confirmed historical amur tiger of 254 kg. And, meanwhile we haven't seen any reliable 280-290+ kg male from siberia (which is the case for Bengal tigers regarding reliable hunting records only) finding a 270 kg tiger in these days from a population that had a drastic downsize  because of poaching would be astonishing.

But yea, for confirming such record we need solid evidence, that's so bad that  they didn’t reply to you. Hope it's not just an exagerration or a visual off estimate Reply
