Hi @Pckts
Nice info there.
TFS

I like to add some more points.

Regarding size, there is two ways of representing the size
1) A tiger being dimensionally bigger, which is being longer and taller.
2) A tiger being heavily built, being bulky with bigger chest girth.

Kanha tigers have always been a mystery.
Regarding Kanha tigers compared to Tadoba and Bandhavgarh

1) Kanha tigers have bigger heads than Tadoba and Bandhavgarh tigers.
2) Kanha tigers were also said to be bigger dimensionally being taller and longer than tigers from Tadoba and Bandhavgarh.
3) But it is said these Kanha tigers lack the overall bulkiness found in tigers from Tadoba and Bandhavgarh. The reason could be prey availability, season and higher degree of territorial battles. Tigers like Munna, Naak kata, Pattewala etc were seen half the time limping and injured from territorial battles. Kanha NP as higher numbers of males than females which causes males to fight more and trespassing others territory. There is a higher degree of body mass fluctuations in these Kanha tigers after territorial battles and in different seasons. When compared to Tadoba and Bandhavgarh where tigers tend to be quite similar (the difference is less when compared to Kanha) in body mass throughout the year (Waghdoh seems to be different in last couple of years).

This guy "Asianbuffalo" as a good knowledge on Kanha tigers. He does have alot of info and data on Kanha tigers.
This guy "AsianBuffalo" once spoke to a person named Ravi Naidu, an experienced field worker in Kanha and a wildlife photographer in Kanha, Tadoba and Bandhavgarh regarding the size of Munna and Pattewala compared to Waghdoh. He replied Munna and Pattewala are bigger than Waghdoh.
You can ask him if you want.

But Ive also heard some saying Munna is not a particularly large or bulky tiger and smaller than Waghdoh, Bamera etc
Like here  http://www.indianaturewatch.net/displayi...?id=451852
@Roflcopters (a well informed poster) also said that Munna is not that BIG (I hope he can share more info on this, because it can shed more light on this issue)

So decide yourself.
Do some research and try to find the correct conclusion


IMO Munna is one of the greatest tiger Warriors (Munna got the name "Langda" which means the "limping one" because he was seen limping most of the time with injuries after territorial battles), he faced more battles and killed more tigers than Waghdohs and Bameras.


Regarding Naak kata, he is not the son of Link 7 female, that information given there is wrong.
Regarding Konda, he was not killed by Munna, that information is wrong too.

Hope it helps
