Hi,
it it is very difficult to rank.
If you are not an expert, you see a tiger and for you It' s a very big tiger.
Ok. But if you know the tigers , you can say if it is really a big tiger.
Many times, 2 or 3 years ago, I have seen a big tiger,... Bamera.
When male tiger are eating, they are full. They eat 15 kgs. But the proportions of legs and face are normal, and it is not a very big tiger.
For Bamera, I have follow this tiger on many years. I have picture with him and his brothers 2 years old ( 4 Cubs, birth nov 2004) It was really more bigger than brothers.
In December, I have seen T24, full ...and very big.
In your Kaziranga pictures, I can say , that really an huge tiger, not a full tiger by food, we can see the proportions, long and massive, not very nice. It is necessary to see really the size, because the anormal proportions can false the evaluation.
But I have never see same huge tiger...for the moment.
I go in Ranthambore in March, April, May.
Maybe I see Star male and I can answer at this for your question. [img]images/smilies/dodgy.gif[/img]
But the times are changing. I think now, the reign of Sultan is coming.
I hope also to see Fateh, etc...
Oh, I forget. I have see a big tiger in November. In Kitauli zone, in Bandhavgarh, a very big tiger., size of Bamera 7 years old. Very shy, just a glimpse of twenty seconds. He jump and run in the bush. Big tiger. My brother guide Pappu, cannot give a name.
