There is a reason why Tigers of Kanha are the biggest in size. The two Tigers in the video here are just about 22 months, and look at the size.   These are cubs of Mahaveer female in Mukki zone. Have broken away from the mother, usually roam alone, but once in a while seen together. Their father is Umarpani male another massive Tiger currently a dominant male in Mukki. While some believe that Kingfisher is their father. It must be noted that Kingfisher died in a territorial death, and most likely the culprit was Umarpani male. It is also noticed later on few occasions that Umarpani male spent time with these cubs in the monsoon of 2017, and even later in the year. Such cubs augur well for Kanha, and in particular Mukki.  The head size is simply monstrous of these cubs in particular MV 2, but in today's sighting some people felt that MV 1, looked bigger. What was really very interesting was that their two sisters were also seen in the same safari a little distance away. Video taken by Sanjay Thakre.
