Answer 3

According with the Guinness Book of Records, the heaviest Bengal tiger on record was a male cattle-eater, hunted by David Hasinger in Fatehpur Shooting Block, near Kaladhong in the forest of Kumaon, Uttar Pradesh, India, in November 30, 1967.

This giant had a total length of 323 cm measured between pegs (338 cm over curves) and weighed 388.7 kg (857 lb).

There is a controversy about the weight of this animal because it was to heavy and was baited, however, if a tiger can consume about one fifth of its own weight (according with Dr. Schaller) the real weight of this giant could be no less than 311 kg (685.6 lb). Even in this way, it rank among the largest tigers ever.
