@Greatearth, I agree that T3 didn’t have any competition. But, you are ignoring another major fact. Unlike other parks, he didn’t have numerous mating partners. While T1 and T2 (especially T2) were very fertile, T4 and T5 weren’t. So, he fathered cubs with far lesser number of females. That offsets the competition thing. He did have some competition later on from his own son, P112, who was bigger than him.

You talked about the Sariska boys, right. Remind yourself that ST6 was poisoned within 6 months, which means ST4 had no competition as well. Did he father as many cubs as T3?

Any tiger that weighs 240 kilos at 10 years of age is by no means an average tiger. Reply
