There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

213cm in HBL but taken over curves so around 208cm in a straight line.
His chest girth is 140cm *4 cm* larger than Wagdoh
Shoulder height unknown but it’s safe to say it’s going to be at least as tall as Wagdoh since he wasn’t a very tall Tiger.
This males weight was 546lbs or 247 kgs.
213cm over the curves would mean 200-203 cm in straight which totally adds up with the weight of 247kg.
And like I have already stated, chest girth does not correlate with weight as much as bodylength does and also the fact that Wagdoh was so old his chest girth would have shrunk due to old age.
No it wouldn’t, generally you’ll see anywhere from 2-4” difference between the two. So assuming they both are fairly close in length, Wagdoh is outsized in chest and most likely shoulder. And Branders 600lb Tiger significantly outsized him in every department

bro brander didn't weighted this giant although , he had estimated it no less than 600lbs roughly .
Not “no less” but “was about”

yes bro he roughly estimated about 600lbs , but bro it was 221cm between pegs and had height of 43inh or 109cm and girth of 150cm , it will be a lot more than 600lbs , something like 630-650lbs . we had seen measurements of star male , sauraha etc .
Star is over the curves and like I mentioned, that leaves far too much room for error especially when taken by vets who don’t necessarily follow the trophy hunting protocols nor put as much emphasis on it since it’s not important to them. You can almost guarantee Sauraha was full and also larger in the chest and most likely taller in the shoulder.
Brander killed and measured many, same with the other tables I’ve presented. A 600lb cat is very rare, if brander says he’s close to 600lbs that’s all you can go off of.
was brander tiger from madhya pradesh or mahrastra ?
