For past three months, this tiger has been seen terrorizing peoples lives, and is believed to have killed five people and plundered livestock. Upon taking it under control we found that its canine teeth were broken and had damages in its claws. This happens when two male tigers fight seriously. Because of this, the tiger could not kill wild prey species and started to kill people and livestock.

this is all i got from the NTNC facebook page, i did message them. fingers crossed.

ALL,

The pictures posted in post 122 (good find, Copters) show a mature male tiger close to a number of people. The last picture suggests the tiger could have been measured in a straight line ('between pegs') with a steel tape. 

Reliable information published in the period 1935-1990 suggests tigers from northern India and Nepal, and those from Chitwan and Bardia in particular, could be the largest wild big cats today (referring to averages). The range in size is considerable. Those who measured them agreed adult Nepal male tigers often are quite robust and have relatively large skulls and shortish tails.

The question to members interested in tigers is to get to an estimate on the Bardia man-eater (HB length, tail length, total length and weight). Explanation appreciated. Reply
