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.

indeed, Jaichand was the youngest male tiger to have a territory of his own. he was a full fledge dominant male at just 28 months old. in all of these years, I have yet to see this feat by any other male. most male tigers on average take charge at about 4-5, very few at 3-3.5 but at 2.5 years of age. that’s almost unheard of. too bad we lost such a hefty tiger to poachers.

I can never forget that face, he was a massive male tiger and in his prime. he probably would have surpassed Jai. his half brothers Bittu and Srinivasa were both tagged at 230 kilograms and he was visibly bigger than both. he also spent most time with Jai out of any male cub sired by Jai.
for me in their childhood days, as far as size goes. it was always Jaichand > Bahu > Bali > Bittu > Srinivasa.
here’s all three brothers, Bali appears first in the video. sits on the road. second cub is Jaichand and the last one to appear is Bahu.
