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.

Are tracks the same throughout India?
If that is the measurement, he's actually not a very long Tiger.
6' HBL is fairly standard and he looks to be just about 6' or slightly less.
Just for comparison, the Sauraha Male was 6'5" in a straight line.
Great observation. Sauraha being a Terai male should be longer. From the naked eye, the males from the whole terai belt look longer in general. That Rajaji specimen is still the longest I've seen, at least in photos.
I believe Central Indian males are less longer yet so robust. I love that build. Especially the one's from Bandhavgarh. They just have this build (Very perfect proportions) and robust. Prime Waghdoh was up there in terms of sheer beauty.
But overall I believe its Kazi and Dudhwa males and few from Nepal and Corbett that seem to have both the length and also the muscles.
I've also felt that Nagarhole tigers look longer as well compared to Central Indian tigers. But they lack that build. I might be wrong. Because I've never been to Nagarhole. Only seen photos.
