In the cat kingdom unrivaled (except the african lion, which have fairly comparable body masses). I can not judge the trustworthiness of all sources but even those that seem 100% confirmed are completely sufficient to be able to form a judgment what the maximum is and where it begins to become extraordinary. The others support the thesis in this case.


But I would also be interested in the weights of the female tigers. As far as I know, males are 40-50% heavier than females. Hence, I would estimate the maximum of the female tigers at 165-185 kg.

Ikr. Tigers truly are the largest cats! 

You probably didn't fully understand the point GreenForest was making. There are many who only accept data from peer-reviewed articles and for good reason (Or it is their protocol... so they do not have to fear wrongly appearing selectivism). There are also people who do not accept personal communications, also for understandable reasons. GreenForest is not an unusual case. Whether I hold the same opinion or not is irrelevant in this specific situation.

I was able to find out that one of the males you mentioned have not been weighed at all (Booklet on Tiger Body Growth 2021, p.5, Panna Tiger Reserve). It was the male tiger (T) with the Identification number 3.  It is the paper that was mentioned by the user GuateGojira very recently. Reply
