Is there any knowledge, that how big and heavy tiger this is? Just for curiosity.

My guess is between 200-220kg, Fetah has never struck ms as one of the larger Ranthambore males, not to say that's a small cat by any means.

I'm probably a bit bias though, I dont find Ranthambore Tigers as impressive as I do from other areas but that's just me.

In 2017 I was in Ranthambore and managed to see both T34(Kumbha) and T60(Along with her three cubs) during two different safaris, so I do have a fair bit of idea about Ranth tigers from up close in recent times.

Obviously, I asked guides and FD people all the questions I could. Everyone in the park agreed to one single thing: In prime T42(FATEH) was the biggest by far.  Now I am not running towards any conclusions but if Ustaad weighed 240 KG during 3.5 years old I am sure T42 was the same if not more. However, T42 has a big skull and thus that can make a tiger look big as well even though he might not weigh as much. I met guides from several zones however everyone thought T42 was by far the biggest. 

Also, I have seen tigers in Central India as well so I don't think Ranth tigers are any taller than them which most people think is the case. I think because they lack mass they look taller however they don't look small either and are on par with Tigers from central India parks in terms of frame size. Reply
