Prime Wagdoh vs Prime Umarpani is very close. if i had to pick, i’d say Waghdoh male. I can also agree that in general Kanha males on average are bigger than Tadoba males. however, the general rule doesn’t apply to every tiger and Waghdoh was by far the biggest tiger to come out of Tadoba.

I had this argument with the Kanha side a couple years ago, they said Umarpani and i had the same argument with Tadoba side. they said Waghdoh. at the end of the day, both are huge. probably amongst the top 10 biggest males to come out of Central India in the past decade. no doubt about it. 

Umarpani

Waghdoh

I would bet my life on Umarpani being bigger. 
Wagdoh is not that big imo. I have heard people say he was huge and people say he’s about the size of Matkasur. He’s more fat than anything else. Here he’s skinny and I’m not very impressed tbh not very muscular and with a rather small head compared to Kanha males. I think when he’s fat he tricks your view. 

That's what I think of Waghdoh and most Central Indian male tigers (not including Umarpani that looks like he got a good sized skull in relation to his body), most of them have smaller skull with respect to their body although their body can be massive and long. Not sure about their shoulder height. In my opinion, male tigers from every part of India except the Northern part have much smaller frame compared to the North Indian tigers. Have you seen Han and Ali, the lions from BJWT? At some point, Han is a little bit heavier than Ali but Ali have a bigger frame compared to Han. Ali have a bigger skull, taller at the shoulder and bigger overall skeletal frame compared to Han. Later, Ali would became the heaviest (thus the biggest) lion among the Big Pride which consisted of Han, Luke, Illanga and Ali himself. Reply
