He’s the main WII guy from up North, he also is very well respected in the field for the amount of work he has put in, curious to see how these tigers match up to the other side of the Terai or even Assam.
In regards to the Kanha tigers, Central India is widespread. which means alot of tiger reserves. Panna, Bandhavgarh, Tadoba, Pench Mp, Pench, Mh, Melghat, Nagzira, Satpura, Brahmapuri forest division, Umred, Sanjay dubri etc etc. now let’s factor in the busy parks, let’s say Tadoba, Kanha, Pench both sides and Bandhavgarh lead the industry as far as tourism is concerned. we see more tigers from here than any other Parks in Central india. how do you get to a conclusion that Kanha has the biggest tigers in Central India without factoring in the big males/females from Satpura, Sanjay Dubri, Melghat, Pench Mp, Pench MH etc. there are no experts raising the flag about the might of Kanha tigers. It’s mostly just the small group of people from Kanha making these outrageous claims without any significant proof. no historical weights support any of this, absolutely nothing backs this. this needs to be addressed everytime so we get to a bottom of this. I do believe that on average Kanha, Pench Mp, Pench Mh and bandhavgarh tigers are generally bigger on average compared to Tadoba tigers from what i have seen, no bias. Tadoba tigers are my favorite group. however, I don’t know much about 2/4 of Central India landscape to have a very definite opinion. that’s my point. let’s factor in all the tiger reserves in Central india and let’s do a valid comparison of kanha with others from the same region, no prey density data supports this. no measurements, no significant habitat difference and no weights either. surely kanha is one of the top contender, there is no doubt about that but to claim they are the biggest is just fanatical and highly bias.
