T20 aka Jhumroo a 11 year old male tiger was finally tranquilized and later released deep inside the protected area. As per eye witness Jhumroo, who is otherwise very shy in nature was probably enjoying his meal of cattle when a villager got too close to his comfort and was attacked. As news started spreading & place was full of tamasha viewers, one more man got entangled in the bushes and fell, he was also attacked by tiger leaving him with multiple injuries to nurse. By this time more villagers had gathered at the spot, approximately 700 in number making the rescue operation more difficult. Before things could turn ugly, forest department under leadership of DCF (Core) Mr. Y.K Sahu along with one forest guard Rajveer & tourism driver Raees Bhai swiftlytranquilized the tiger and moved him away to safety of protected area. Mr. Sahu lead his team from front-reached the spot himself & directed the entire operation, he wasinfact first to walk towards tiger post darting to ensure that this gentle beast was sedated properly . Sensing mood of crowd, he also moved the tiger immediately from spotto avoid any undesired incident. Since the department personnel were clearly outnumbered & crowd had already man handled the local SDM & some police officials during theoperation, this surely was a wise move. The tiger has been sighted by forest department today afternoon in the area he was released yesterday & seems to be doing fine. During monsoon time village cattle startsflocking the forest for grazing, as the natural prey base shift to higher places these animals become an easy catch for big cats. The search for easy prey had probablytaken this 280 kg giant to forest periphery on the eastern side of Park boundary.
Nice info Pckts.
The 280Kg weight given to Jhumroo is an estimate or real weight ?
Here is a pic of Jhumroo being sedated and carried

According to this it was as an estimate.

RE: Tiger Directory - Apollo - 07-24-2014
Name : T6 = Semli = Romeo
Location : Ranthambore National Park
Year of Birth : 2004
Ancestry : Son of X male (T2) and T5 tigress
Status : Live
Sex : Male
Species : panthera tigris tigris
Born to father Big Daddy (T2) and mother T5, the Kachida female, Semli grew up in a well-known tiger family. Together with his brother (T7) and sister (T8 or Balas female) he was raised in the Kachida valley of the park. Semli and his father got along well and were often seen sharing their kills with each other, especially as his father aged.
After Semli and his brother separated from their mother, they stayed together at the fringes of Machali's territory – establishing a small territory of his own with Semli alley at its heart. Soon after he was seen mating with the young Laila female (T41) in the Semli and Berda valley. He has since been expanding his territory to encroach into Adidant and Lakkarda valley, bringing him into conflict with Ranthambhore matriarch Machali for her meals.
Currently Semli is facing troubles from T25.

RE: Tiger Directory - Apollo - 07-29-2014
Name : Naak Kata
Location : Kanha National Park
Year of Birth : Unknown
Ancestry : Unknown (Some say he is from Saddam Hussain Lineage)
Status : Live
Sex : Male
Species : panthera tigris tigris
Despite being one of the largest and more mature tigers in the range, Naak Kata remains wary of vehicles and prefers secluded areas of his territory. That said, he has maintained a very large territory, and is clearly not afraid to defend it.
He is an easily distinguishable tiger due to the large scar he carries on his nose. In fact Nak kata means cut nose. He held a very imposing figure due to his sheer size and used this attribute to control a very large territory, which encompassed Kanhari Camp, Digdola, Sarhi, Bihlwani, Neelamullah and Link 7. He has fathered many cubs over the last decade.
In the early days he had alot of frequent battles with Munna. But in most of the battles Naak katta lost against Munna. In October 2009 they had a big fight and Naak katta was injured and got is nose cut, after healing Naak kata again picked a fight with Munna and got injured in June 2010.

RE: Tiger Directory - Apollo - 08-01-2014
Name : T17 = Satra = Sundari
Location : Ranthambore National Park
Year of Birth : October 2006
Ancestry : Daughter of X male (T2) and Machali (T16) tigress
Status : Went missing during April 2013, could be dead.
Sex : Female
Species : panthera tigris tigris
Satra was born to X male and Machali, the litter had three female cubs namely Satra, Athara and Unnis. Satra was the dominant one in the litter.
By December 2007 Satra started exploring for territory and started hunting by herself. In the early 2008 she established a small territory around the base of the Ranthambore Fort, while her two sisters were still living with their mother. Satra became totally independent at the end of the summer of 2008.
Initially Satra was selected for the relocation to Sariska and she was fitted with a radicollar, but due to some reasons it didn’t work out, so finally the radio collar was removed in November 2011.
During the winter of 2008, Satra had plans of expanding her territory. This resulted in challenging Machali for her territory. This war of succession ended in Satra’s favour, after Machali left the lake and moved to Lakkarda. Soon Satra took over most of Machali’s territory except for two small parts,
Lakkarda --> which was left for her mother.
Mandoop --> which her sister Unnis took over.
Her third sister Athara established her territory in the Phoota Kot area, when she was relocated to Sariska
Since then, Satra has been ruling the area of the lakes and an impressively large adjoining territory. She was not shy of vehicles and often gets very close to them and use them as cover for hunting.
We've often seen Satra mate with one of four different males, but she showed no signs of bearing a litter. She always shared her territory with three different males (T12, T25 and Sitara earlier, and then Sultanpur, following T12's move to Sariska) and it may be a case of tiger politics that she has deliberately not had cubs.
During early summer 2011, Satra started expanding into the Kachida valley after the dominant female there (T5) died. Satra had one of the largest territories among the females in Ranthambhore National Park - a territory rivalled in size only by that of her sister Unnis.
In May 2012 she had three cubs sired by Dollar male. The cubs were shown to the world during June 2012. At the end of December 2012 Satra had a serious fight with Star male to protect her cubs and a kill. Unfortunately she was very badly injured and required medical attention from the park’s veterinarians. Later she moved her cubs to Dollar male’s territory for protection. As of April 2013 Satra is been missing and thought to be dead

T10 was translocated to Sariska in 2008.
He weighed in at 220Kg at 4 years during translocation.
But unfortunately he died, the reason could be either poisoning or territorial battle.
Check this articles about his death

"This was the best sighting of Namdev at Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, India.
It was a memorable experience to come up-close with this beautiful tiger. I ended up with over 100 images of Namdev. He was extremely curious and didn't shy away from showcasing his amazing presence. Enjoy these 14 mesmerising pictures of Namdev. He's one of the rarest tigers of Tadoba.

Check this guy out, he is quoted by eye witnesses as being a "very large tiger"
You can see his frame is very large.
He killed the father of law of a Forrest Gaurd.
"Massive Male Tiger "Namdev" at Jamni
Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, India
© ANJAN LAL"Anjan Lal "Not new he is an old chap and is known to have killed a villager inside the tiger reserve. He thereafter became Namdev and is the main territorial tiger of Mutkasur and Zhari areas at Tadoba range. It was a dream come true to see hims giving a full 45 minute sighting at Jamni Chowk. I just admire his personality!"
Ill post images tomorrow.

I wonder where they where translocated from.
Judging from images I have to say that Ranthambhore tigers appear to be slimmer usually, I don't know if that is the reason for a taller look or not, but when I see other large tigers in front of jeeps or with other wild life, they usually appear to be equally tall. Even the heights and weights I have seen don't seem to change very drastically from area to area, not like they do from sub species to sub species. Its hard to get straight answers from people who have seen both, because there tends to be a pride issue from area to area, people want "their" tigers to be the largest. But from eye witnesses who have allegedly seen multiple tigers, each has a tiger who they claim to be the largest, tallest, heaviest, longest, etc..
There were several prominent Tigers before Machli (T-16) including her mother the original Machli or the Lady of the Lakes (with Fish / Gill like facial markings), Noon, Padmini, Laxmi, Broken Tooth, Akbar, Hamir, Babar, Lakshmi, Kublai, Genghis etc and all of them were documented by the late Fateh Singh Rathore & Valmik Thapar during the late-70s, 80s & 90s.
While Tigers of Ranthambhore were never introduced or relocated from other landscapes, fossil studies conducted by Dr.ADT John Singh as well evolutionary data suggests that the Tigers found their own way from the Satpura landscape to parts of Rajasthan since natural corridors during those times were mostly inviolate.
As far as physical attributes of Tigers from different landscapes is concerned, if we talk of Ranthambhore, while Star Male (T-28) is taller & longer than most males & Fateh (T-42) is arguably the heavier one, pitting them against each other is highly subjective. My two cents !

His sibling, Female T-11, still resides in & around her mother's area and is the mate of T-33, the dominant male there.
His father was X Male or the Chiroli male (T-2).
T-10 was translocated to Sariska in June 2008 & given ID of ST-1.
He died in November 2010 due to poisoning by villagers (revenge killing) since he preyed only on Cattle. The forest department had famously proclaimed cause of death to be in-fighting but the Autopsy report nailed the reason as poisoning after finding traces of Organophosphurus insecticide in the viscera. Interestingly, despite being radio-collared (like all other Tigers of Sariska), the monitoring team had not tracked him for almost a month leading to his death.
