Modern weights and measurements on wild tigers

[LonePredator]

Hello @GuateGojira, how are you doing? There is something I would like to discuss about Madla from Panna, would you share your opinion with me on this?

So there is a lot of confusion about his weight, did he not exceed the 250kg scale?? Then why is his weight still stated as 230kg??

Do you think it’s really likely that he had 20kg+ stomach content? Especially when Chundawat even stated once that Madla was only PARTIALLY full and not really gorged.

From his pictures we can see that Madla was very similar in shape to the M-105 Sauraha male but was larger in dimensions, so how is it possible that a Tiger with almost the same shape as M-105 but larger dimensions weigh only 230kg while M-105 weighs 260-275kg?

Would a merely 230kg Tiger really break records? Madla had 7.5cm canines which is the highest known for any Tiger so should we really assume he was just 230kg even after all this??

Madla also did not really seem to have an unusually thick neck or anything, very similar in shape to M-105 but still his neck girth was 10cm higher so doesn’t it suggest that Madla was just isometrically larger than M-105 in terms of dimensions??

Isn’t 230kg common for male Bengal Tigers these days?? In all his descriptions this Tiger is stated to be ‘exceptional’ and even his actual weight of 250kg+ suggests he was an exceptional male so why is it pushed that he was just 230kg?

What do you think? Thanks! Reply
