@Roflcopters @Spalea Great video. Anyways, I've had the pleasure of seeing him when I visited Kaziranga. I've written a bit about it. I'll summarize what I learned from Kaziranga.


1. He wasn't the biggest. I do admit he's the only male I've seen up close in the park. I saw a female who was built like a tank but that story is for another day. So, for me KZT085 was big. Not the biggest I've seen. but only 3-4 males have been bigger than him that I have seen in my life.

The guards and the people there told me that he wasn't the biggest. Strongest yes. To kill someone like KZT023 and rule Kohora (The prime range in the park) for a good amount of time at a place like Kaziranga is some achievement. In fact, I'd say it is one of the most difficult territories for any male to control in India.

So even though I haven't seen any other male in the park, I'd believe the guard and some of the photos we've seen to believe that bigger than him are present. But strongest he was I have no doubt about that. A guard told me that KZT023 had the aura to send adult male rhinos packing upon his arrival sometimes. I don't know how much of that is true. 

As far as the biggest is concerned I've started doubting my own theories lately. I used to think Kaziranga and Corbett should be top of the list. From the pictures though, I have started to believe that DUDHWA has the biggest males out of all. The head size is absolutely huge. And I am saying this after seeing plenty of big tigers in real life.

My plan is to visit DUDHWA once this COVID-19 crisis is over. 

I can't wait to see someone like Sathiana Male from my own eyes. That would be amazing. Reply
