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.
now that i think about it, the biggest female i have ever seen was this Katarniaghat female from Dudhwa tiger reserve.Collarwali (Pench), Baghin nallah (Pench) Choti Mada (Kanha) Badi Mada (Pench) A mark (Nagzira) Jharni (Navegon buffer) Hirdi Nallah (Kolsa) and a countless others from Central India are very impressive in their own way but this is a level beyond them. females from the North could rival some of the smallest males.

here is the Katarnaghiat female, there is a verified weight of a 180kg tigress from this region so you can imagine how big she is.
this makes me wonder about the Rajaji Male, he was absolutely enormous and his pugmarks the biggest i have ever seen.

his pugmarks, biggest you’ll ever see. feel free to show me anything bigger. No Wagdoh, No Umarpani, No Hairyfoot or Madla could provide you with Pugmarks this big. this is why tigers of Terai and Assam are on a whole new level.

It seems like this entire stretch that covers Rajaji, Corbett, Dudhwa and Pilibhit from India side and then add in Shuklaphanta, Chitwan and Bardia from Nepal side. this entire group has some of the biggest males and females in that entire region. look a bit towards the east, Kaziranga, Manas, Buxa, Orang, Nameri, Namdapha and Bhutan. they are just as impressive if not more.
