I have major doubts about this.
Rayakassa wasn't a big male to begin with *small frame* let alone at that age and empty, although I'm not sure he was 15 in 2019.

he was likely 14-15 in 2019. considering he took charge of Turiya in 2008 and littered first cubs of Collarwali the same season. also his weight is a little sus. i doubt he weighed 240kg empty specially considering his age and he wasn’t exactly living his best life in MH part of Pench. which is understandable as he was nearing the end of his life. for sure, in his glory days. he was a force to be reckoned with.

@Jerricson good job as always, here’s a young male from Kisli range that died in March/2014. apparently killed by the dominant male of the area. i wonder if this was the individual? it definitely couldn’t have been Bheema for sure based on the area.
