Ranthambore climate is more drier type.
With the landscapes more similar to lion country with lot of open areas.
This may play a role in helping Ranth tigers to develop more mane like features than tigers from other parts of India.
Which may interpret the health conditions of these males, to avoid confrontations.
Its just a thought.

Hello, I'm new here. Just read all 50 pages in 2 days! Brilliant!
Just wanted to add that no one seemed to have mentioned the new Male Tiger from Agarzari buffer zone - Khali. He chased Wagdoh out of that territory and even won over Wagdoh's childhood sweetheart - Madhuri
According to the guides and drivers who see both Wagdoh and Khali on a regular basis, Khali is *almost* as big as Wagdoh, which must mean he's massive too! 

Does anyone have any photos of Khali?

Traveling Tiger Establishes Connectivity Between Bor and Amravati
By scouring through camera-trap images, forest officials have ascertained the identity of a ‘mystery’ tiger in the forests of Amravati. His origins? A tiger reserve that lies over 100 km. away.

With a marathon 100 km. journey from the Bor Tiger Reserve to the Malkhed-Pohara Forest Range of Amravati, a wild tiger has established beyond doubt that a corridor exists between these two forests.
The three-year-old big cat was born in 2013 to the tigress known as T1 in the Pendhari and Navegaon Beat of the Bor Tiger Reserve. As a four-month-old cub, he was camera-trapped, along with his mother and siblings. Subsequently, these images were entered into the repository of camera trap images of tigers maintained by the forest department of Bor. Two years later, in March 2015, a young tiger was caught on camera-trap in the Amravati Territorial Forest Range that lies 100 km. from Bor as the crow flies. This was the first real evidence of tiger presence in these forests, and was shortly followed by a direct sighting.
As forest officials in Amravati began to ponder the origins of the new cat in their midst, Uttam Sawant, the Assistant Conservator of Forests, Selu Unit, Bor Tiger Reserve, acted on a hunch and started the laborious task of manually matching the stripes of the tiger photographed in Amravati with those of the tigers in the Bor database. Individual tigers have unique stripe patterns, and if he could find a match, the identity of the mystery tiger could be ascertained. His efforts paid dividends, and he was able to match the stripes of the tiger with those of one of T1’s cubs, which was photographed all those months ago.

Male tigers are known to disperse far and wide from their natal homes. There’s a stark possibility that this young cat travelled close to 150 km. to reach Malkhed-Pohara Forest Division, as he is unlikely to have moved in a straight line. Having reached as far as Malkhed-Pohara, it is also entirely possible that the tiger will find his way to the Melghat Tiger Reserve that lies in the very same Amravati District.
Taking note of the tiger’s westward migration, M.S. Reddy, Chief Conservator of Forests, Maharashtra, has written to numerous authorities urging for the better conservation and protection of the forest corridor that evidently exists between Bor TR and Malkhed-Pohara. If anything, the story of the travelling tiger illustrates the urgent need to prioritize the conservation of forests outside of Protected Areas, many of which continue to provide tenuous links and corridors between notified forests.

Chotta Bheem
"Like Father like Son" proverb stands good for this male tiger cub. He is 14/15 months old and is already charismatic, bold, smart, big and elegant like his father Bheem. He is the King in the making of Khitauli zone in Bandhavgarh.

 He was identified as Mahadesha male tiger and spotted near Atni katte, Bandipur

The rise of sub-adult males in Ranthambhore is a very alarming trend in the park. T-19 being the main contributor this these numbers as she has 6 cubs who are roaming around in the core tourism zones along with the 3 cubs of the late T-17 tigress and causes utter confusion. This day while we were assuming this male tiger to be T-74, the male cub of T-17, it turned out to be T-64 the male cub of T-19's first litter. This overlap of territory has already lead to Sultan the cub of T-39 to move to the fringes and there are a few more who have not been traced and are thought to have migrated to other areas.

There's been a few debates on the weights of tigers. It's clear that the weight at any given point can fluctuate like crazy and give misleading results.

For example, here's two photos of Wagdoh.

   

The one on top was taken by my father 2 years ago.
The one at the bottom was taken by me last month.

Clear to see what a huge difference a meal would make!
