We can't simply assume a photographer might have heard correct weight and conveyed it correctly. That would be nothing but conjecture. As for local newspaper saying T24's weight is above 215kg, it simply implies the weight is somewhere around 215kg. No other interpretation can be taken. If he indeed weighed way above that, they would have mentioned it. Stomach food content is absolutely important. Tigers can roam with 30-50kg of meal anytime. That can skew their actual weight. We should strive to convey true scientific weights, not hearsays.

https://indianexpress.com/article/india/...d-aka-t24/ indian express is one of india's top newspaper may be 1000 times or 10k times bigger than that local newspaper in publications . it have ustaad aroud 250kg at the tym of final capture . now ustaad have big body dimensions than that 215kg corbett male translocated to rajaji  or these 227-228kg panna tigers .usttad weight at age 3.5 is given as 240 by habib (generally vet gives weight after deduction as per their observation), so it is more wise to consider 258 .
