B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India

[GreenForest]

Without good genetics, large tiger offspring is not possible. T3 is just average tiger from pench. He peaked 240kg at his prime, like most of the other territorial males in central india. But, nothing special about his genes. There were 2 group of male genes introduced in panna. T3 and other one is from last panna male. The last panna male was very massive male. The re-introduced kanha tigress(T2) mated with him to produce p211-214. The pannalal was born to p213 female. That's likely the reason he ended up being bigger than other tigers. It's good that the original panna gene is preserved.
