I believe it’s the same male that was shot in the face from Agoratoli range, this huge male had a very fresh injury at that time. surprisingly he survived these wounds and was sighted in 2015.

The Braveheart from Kaziranga
When first spotted in Kaziranga late one evening in January 2014, he was seen crossing into a river island on the Brahmaputra. He was limping badly and carried what looked like a severe gunshot wound on his forehead. It did not seem likely that he would survive and since he was never spotted for the next twelve months he was thought to be dead.
However, in January 2015 when returning from safari there was an alarm call from a monkey. A few seconds later there he was, standing in all his glory looking at me intently. As the minutes ticked by, he sat down on his haunches and when he felt that I was not a threat, he decided to cross the path and disappear. During that time I managed to observe and photograph him and he was the same tiger with the hole still visible, right eye damaged and his right ear missing. If ever I saw a fighter, it was him.

The story of a fighter and a survivor
When first spotted around Jan 2014, I thought this male was doomed for sure... his right ear was missing, right eye was closed and the hole on his forehead could accommodate a ping pong ball. At first I thought it ws caused by a wild buff but closer scrutiny made it look suspiciously like a bullet hole. He limped across a sand bank across the Brahmaputra.... not to be seen again. In January 2015 he sat by the forest path in the fast fading light.... looking at me for about 4/5 minutes before crossing over for a drink. He is a fighter..... probably one of the noblest fighters on this planet. May the one eared braveheart's roar reverberate across the glens and forest paths till he dies a natural death. I am sure his spirit will never die as long as this fabulous land is allowed to exist by us... humans.

Tarachand in the front and Chota Matka in the back, now almost fully grown and teamed up against any possible threat. let’s hope these boys survive the competition and return some day to rule the core. it won’t be long before Matkasur starts pushing them out.

RE: B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India - Roflcopters - 10-30-2018
what a powerful young male, Bhagoda is even bigger than him. Tarzan is probably bigger than both and perhaps the biggest known male from Central india’s tourism zone. @Rage2277 @Pckts @parvez what are your top 5 big males of 2018?
RE: B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India - Rage2277 - 10-30-2018
they're all badass to me i hate choosing..but guess i'll go with pannalal,mamu,aurangzeb,uma,bajrang from tadoba @Roflcopters

I don't think I have any major changes from last season just yet but Bhagoda male does have a large muzzle and full body, he certainly looks like a big fella and said to be larger than Ryakassa.
Here's my top 5 strictly from C. India, I have little doubt that some of those big fellas from Terai are larger than these males I'm going to name
No Particular Order
1.Umarpani
2.Tarzan
3.Bheem
4.Pannalal
5.CM (He's the new entry but after seeing him this season, he looks large)

I have not concentrated into the top5 tigers from central India and mainly i have not followed this thread as much. But my top 5 tigers from other regions are gbm9, gbm10, gbm13, gbm16 and the most important favourite of 2018 for me is mukhtar. I am truly astonished at his size and magnificence. The first time i saw him I thought or meditated about him the entire day. Simply marvellous.
RE: B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India - Roflcopters - 10-31-2018
Thanks everyone for the input! It’s always good to see what others think. I haven’t had the chance to do my list. maybe i’ll do it later tonight.
@Rage2277
V7
Kankajhari
Matkasur
Bajrang
Kuhani sub adult male
Sharmili sub adult male (Sharmili of Kolara buffer, kankajhari’s mate)
Shivanjari sub adult male #1
Kolara buffer is the new hot spot for Tadoba tigers. hope none of Kankajhari’s sub adult cubs get caught up in the mess.
Tfs!
@parvez
Shed some light on gbm9,10,13 and 16.
RE: B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India - Rage2277 - 10-31-2018
One male chasing another male.
Tadoba subadult sons of shivaji's daughters looks like (kolara female) sharmili's boy chasing kuhani's (shivanzari female)boy his cousin
RE: B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India - Roflcopters - 10-31-2018
*This image is copyright of its original author
the big male cub in the front is Ambeutra/Dewada male and Kuhani’s son, the male in the back is Kankajhari male and Sharmili’s son. both are grandsons of Katezari male and Shivaji. how time flies!
RE: B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India - Rage2277 - 10-31-2018
kankajhari's brat might be in for a good smacking..kuhani's brat looks a bit bigger than him and i think little older too
RE: B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India - Roflcopters - 11-02-2018
ok so after giving it a thought, I came to a final conclusion and i believe this is my top 5 in order. (Central India only)
1) Tarzan of Pench, MP. unlike any male i have seen from Central India. he seems to be the biggest.
this video i think settles it for me.
2) Mukhtar/Umarpani: Mukhtar is probably the biggest male from the MH side of Pench, again this is entirely based on the information available to us. there could be bigger tigers outside of the tourism zone areas that we don’t have a clue about but for now. he earns this spot. I also put Umarpani here because i can’t seem to determine who’s larger structure wise, they are both robust and both stand out from the rest of the local males. Kanha has a rather interesting line up, however i now firmly believe that Umarpani is probably the most seasoned male in Kanha. he’s massive all year long.

Mukhtar

Umarpani
3) Umarpani/Mukhtar:
4) Pannalal of Bandhavgarh, MP.
he’s a male tiger with infinite potential, if he keeps on getting bigger every season. he’ll probably move up this list and I will see him in the same league as both Umarpani and Mukhtar. he has a huge bulky body, he’s long and solid muscle. however i feel that he’s just a bit smaller than Umarpani and Mukhtar. he sits here for now.
*This image is copyright of its original author
Pannalal
5) Karai Ghati of Kanha, MP.
the only male tiger in the top 5 not in his prime, he’s a large male from Kanha. an oldschool veteran. his overall structure reminds me of Wagdoh male. I think in his prime, he would probably belong in the top 3.
*This image is copyright of its original author
Karai Ghati
I have no doubt, all the males in top 5 are comparable. however as far as ranking is concerned, those are my top 5 in order.
