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.

The only article I have seen that quoted him at 250kg is the one posted here and the weight of 240kg at 3.5yr isn't a article, it's an email from the vet.

You cannot just switch from an alleged Stp report that you can't provide or say he was gorged which would never account for a 50+kg weight loss or old age since he's in his prime or whatever else until you find something that sticks.
This is a completely unprecedented incident, simple as that.

Here is that article (page 5):

Another non-pdf article stated the container weighed that as well. When the weight of this tiger was first brought to my attention, the first article i saw on him never mentioned his weight....just the weight of the container he was carried in.
