Overrated size of Munna aka Langda of Kanha National Park

[Roflcopters]

Quote:This is the problem with the estimations and like Peter said, even experts can't guess correctly the size of these cats, in some occasions.

It doesn't get any realer than that but sadly we have some experts sitting on youtube and faceook, guessing the size of paws, neck, body length, tail, chest girth and even the weight.. these are the people that mislead others. 

Quote:Lastly, you agree with Kshitij ?

Really, they just said bamera is up there with Waghdoh. Which we all know is not true, considering the many eye witnesses who say Waghdoh is far larger than bamera.

I don't agree with him on that, Bamera was heavy but Wagdoh is on a whole new level of heavy.

Quote:I haven't seen Wagdoh in person, but my observation is that Munna is taller, longer and bigger than Wagdoh in all departments, even though relative to his smaller size, Wagdoh is slightly bulkier though nowhere near as muscular as Munna. I also know two experienced photographers who have seen both Wagdoh and Munna several times. Both of them said Munna was the largest, he was HUGE. In fact, one look at the 2 photos of Munna above should give one a good idea on the scale of his size. Between Wagdoh and Shivaji if you have heard of Shivaji, Wagdoh is no doubt the taller, bulkier and larger of the 2. Shivaji appears longer due to shorter height. Photographers who have seen both generally agree on Wagdoh being the bigger one. Shivaji is about the same size as Katezari male, which is also a short-height tiger

This guy you're quoting is a moron, He hasn't even seen Wagdoh and he's making up stuff about experienced photographers. If i go ahead and post this discussion at the Tadoba Andhari Facebook network. people are going to laugh. I know the resort owners at Tadoba and Bandhavgarh, a few regulars at Kanha and a handful of other people that i have been in contact with since my time in 2006. this guy is all hot air, Katezari is a tall bulky male who also dwarfed Saturn's height standing next to him. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Another angle


Now we know Saturn is no average tiger, He's big, tall and Muscular.. now let's compare him to Katezari male

Saturn on the left, Katezari on the right

Quote:Don't worry copters, I'm still with you in regards to Waghdoh. Until I hear about a eye witness account of both, waghdoh and munna, I will not believe munna is larger than waghdoh.

Finally we agree that Munna is nowhere near Wagdoh's potential or size, these Munna fanboys and the page on Facebook is run by fanatics and I've history with all of them. back in 2006, I moderated the Orkut group called "Save the Tiger" and it had about 14,000 members and over there. I had Kshitij and about dozens of people under me. Once the group died, I ventured out to AVA and started getting into heated debates with Lion Fans. basically, I've been through everything and survived. the reason why i'm still posting is because i am passionate about tigers and will continue to do what i do best. this is all out of Passion for me and when i see morons like these misinforming and overrating Tigers, I'll stand up and show their real faces.

Wagdoh makes all his females look like little cubs next to him, Munna doesn't have the capability and never did. Munna's size is overrated. Sure Munna is arguably the most dominant male from Kanha but his size was never all that special, plenty of males from Kanha were larger than him. Naak katta and Pattewala specially.

I am done here. [img]images/smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
