Large male tigers from India (Videos Only)

[Ashutosh]

@tigerluver, I am a big fan of his (very little to do with his size, everything to do with his rage and bad temper even by tiger standards), so my opinion should very well come with a  caveat. 

I was sceptical at the beginning in 2015 when I first saw him. But, his fight with Jobhi clinched it for me. He outsized Jobhi significantly. Jobhi was aged 8 and in his prime and yet Bheem was taller, longer and bulkier than him and it cost Jobhi an eye. By the way, his brother Mangu is nearly as massive but Bheem’s dominant attitude really stood out in Bandhavgarh when his territory extended from Dhamokar Buffer throughout entirety of Khitauli and into Magdhi core encompassing 6 females (that I know of). Today, that same territory is held by 5 different individuals. 

He came from the core zone into Khitauli in 2015, so we have no idea about his sons, daughters before that. He is fondly called “road barabar male” in Bandhavgarh at times which translates to a male who covers the entire width of the road.

He is not a huge tiger anymore, as you can see his muscle loss. But, there is no doubt, he was one of the largest males from Central Indian Reserves for a good 5-6 years. Reply
