B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India

[Pckts]

My 2 cents...

Tigers with an abundance of Bovine are going to be heavier than Tigers w/out.
Ranthambhore and Corbett could very well have Taller Tigers but I think it's more of an optical illusion. They don't have the mass to length ratio and thus look taller. I have heard that Corbett tigers are very large so I'm sure they are but I have a hard time believing that a Tiger who lives off Chital and Sambar would be larger (heavier) than Tigers who live off the same in addition to Gaur, Water Buffalo, Rhino (calves mostly) etc. 

Now in Regards to Wagdoh, I know from my friend/guide who's seen him, Munna, Sangam male and many other tigers, that Wagdoh is the bulkiest Tiger he has ever seen. He's similar height to Munna, Matkasur, Sangam male but he's longer and more robust according to him. But let me also say this, many guides who have seen many Tigers usually have slightly different opinions on who's the "Largest" in the their park, most of the time I got this answer, "it's too hard to tell who's larger, they are all very close" which I took as this meaning, trying to determine a cat being 450lbs or 550lbs, 3' at the shoulder or 3.6' at the shoulder, 6' long or 6.6' long, etc. is very hard to do with the naked eye, you're never going to get a consensus. 

If I were to wager on where the heaviest tigers reside my money would go towards most of the Terai Arc, Kanha and Kaziranga. 
That doesn't mean they are the largest tigers in frame, just most likely to be heavier IMO. Reply
