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.

You cannot compare tiger with different ages.
When tigers take years, they loose musculars, mass and weight.
Male tigers are bigger between 6 and 9 years.
I have see an huge tiger in Bandipur, and also 2 bigs brothers, but I have not a great experience in this park. Maybe I coming another time in November, this year.
I'm truly jealous of your experience with Wild Tigers, only if i could say the same.. oh well [img]images/smilies/sad.gif[/img]. Based on what i read, I take it that you saw Mukunda malee in Khitauli zone around 2013 and Raja from Bandipur along with two of his sub adult sons that probably have carved out their own territories by now. that's truly amazing, I hope you have a good time around here.

I have seen enough of Raja to know that he is a big boy. No matter how you slice it, that tiger thick, tall and powerful.
If Wagdoh is Phil Heath of Central India then Raja certainly is the Phil Heath of Southern India. also Raja has thickest set of biceps I've ever seen on a male tiger.[img]images/smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
