I know what you mean @Rage2277. He has just turned 3. His head is not big, though. Chota Bheem has a much bigger head. Here is a closeup of the young Bajrang:

Uh oh, he looks big and healthy and Uma is starting to look a little old. I'm guessing this is probably Uma's final days ruling Mukki. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see much of him next season.


RE: B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India - Ashutosh - 03-02-2021

@Pckts, Baisanghat has been probing Uma’s defences for some time now with regular intrusions into Uma’s territory (which doesn’t bother Uma one bit) waiting for an opening. An ill-tempered tiger like Bheem would most definitely not tolerate something like that. But, Uma like his father Munna is all about calculative calmness, cool approach and striking at just the right time.

Baisanghat is right in his prime but I just don’t see him dislodging Uma. It will most likely take a fresh face to do so. He reminds me of Mamu from Bandhavgarh. Mamu is just not very assertive. He should have had Bheem’s massive territory in his sights. Instead, he is kind of content with what he has.


RE: B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India - Rage2277 - 03-02-2021

word is he's already claimed parts of uma's turf seems like only a matter of time really.. man i just hope he has some other cubs out there besides his daughter

As anyone attempted to replicate this guy's analysis?

Was B2 ever weighted or measured in anyway?

jai and bamera are bigger than b2 and they're 220 - 230 kgs no way he weighed that much. those days people were calling any bulky tiger 300kg animals

What is the evidence that jai and bamera weighted between 220 - 230 kgs and if so what is the proof that they were bigger than b2? As I understand it, b2 lost out to bamera simply because of old age.

I have done some research. 

I can confirm that the most common and smallest type of car used in those safari tours is in fact the Suzuki Maruti Gypsy.

I can confirm that the tyre size used in the Suzuki Maruti Gypsy is p205 to p235. See video of guy and his Gypsy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lr5LirTKpK8 
You can also google the tyre size of course, which again results in p205.

If the tyre size is indeed 205 cm wide, then a 18 cm track print is definitely reasonable.

If the tyre was actually 235 cm wide, then the track print would have been wider than 18 cm.

So unless there is counter evidence, one would have to go with the video's conclusion that B2's shoulder height is 4.17 feet and body length is 7.7 feet.

This means that standing fully erect on his hindlegs, B2 would be close to 12 feet tall from ground to nose.

Any tiger that is over 4 feet tall on the shoulder is extreme and would probably be around 800lbs.




Again, I am looking for counter evidence that b2 has a shoulder height of 4.17 feet and body length of 7.7 feet.

people that have seen them in the flesh challenger and mangal also sons of b2 were bigger than him there is no wild tiger that heavy anywhere his grandson bheem among others are also larger animals they're not that heavy heaviest tigers top out in the 270s.


RE: B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India - Roflcopters - 03-07-2021

all this going back and forth proves nothing without actual weights. that’s why all these picture comparisons and stuff are flawed methods to judge a tiger’s true size. if everyone had the ability to judge, we would all be experts. “ Jai “ when he was weighed, apparently weighed 238kg. scale was somehow corrected and he scraped 220kg. Bamera was also a bulky tiger, whether he was 220kg or 240kg. that i don’t think we can call out. did he compare with Jai? possibly but we wouldn’t know since we never got anything about Bamera. same goes with B2, arguably one of the biggest tiger in his prime days. give and take, most of these Central Indian males can be anywhere from 180-250kg on average, some would even exceed those numbers. (struggling males tend to be on the lower end of the scale and any healthy male should be in the mid to higher tier weight range.


RE: B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India - Ashutosh - 03-07-2021

@Rage2277, has it been confirmed that Bheem is from the Charger line because his and Mangu’s parentage were a mystery. Most likely born in the non-tourism zone. Some said that he was a mixture of Charger and Bokha lines.

Anyway, is this the Muditara male you were talking about?
