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.

I personally think tigers in Terai and Assam are highly overrated. Loser males in Terai and Assam are still going to be losers even if they go to Central India. Male tigers like Wagdoh, Jai, Hairyfoot, Bamera, and other top males in other parts of India are still going to be top males even if they go to Terai and Assam.
My opinion is that all of Bengal tigers in northern India from west to east like Assam to Corbett, Terai in Nepal and India, central India like Tadoaba, Umred, and Kanha are similar size, but I do believe that there are minor difference in length/height/weight by locations and individuals. I think all of tigers in northern/central india are the same size, just Terai and Assam has more numbers of large male tigers compared to other northern India, central India, and other places of Bhutan and Nepal. I think tigers in dry or desert places like western India like Ranthambore and Sariska in Rajasthan are less bulk than other northern/central India, but still in similar size as other northern India. I saw old photo of tiger skin in Pakistan. I don't know where it came from, and it looked female, but it was actually small tiger skin. Then probably southern Indian tiger, but there is still 300 kg male tigers from old record in these areas. The smallest one is definitely Bengal tiger living in Sundarbans. However, I am not sure tigers in other places of Bangladesh since mangrove was only exist in southwestern part of Bangladesh.

I don't knowthe Himalayan tiger in Bhutan and Myanmar. I remember Peter wrote that they could be the largest, but there's no verified info. I don't think they could be massively built compared to tigers in Central India and Assam after seeing many tiger photos in Bhutan and Himalaya landscapes. Anyone knows of tigers in these regions? Or how about South China tiger or Central China tiger lived near the Tibetan plateau? The North Chinese leopard is discovering high altitude near Tibet, and they even coexist with the Snow leopard in some area.
