Lions and Tigers in India
|
Ustad was confirmed 240kg at age 3.5 years
Another male was confirmed 220kg and Machlis daughter was 170kg confirmed. So at age 2.5years I think the male tiger will definitely be much larger than 100-120kg and now he has had time to grow and is larger than he was for sure. Not that it will matter against multiple attackers most likely. In regards to Lioness or Tigress defeating transient males, while it has happened, it certainly doesn't happen more often than the latter. I have seen far more successful infanticides than the opposite, some times the female goes out "on her shield" so to speak. Like the case with Machlis daughter, T-17 I believe against T25 after she mated with a different male and T25 killed her in territorial fight and one of her cubs. "They do not occur in the Congo basin or west African forests they leave them to leopards!" There have actually been Gabon Lions Phototrapped http://wildfact.com/forum/topic-camera-t...n-20-years and there are N. East congo Lions as well. Which was very surprising to me as well that lions do live in these terrains. Not sure how the terrain differentiates to West african forests though? |
