Matka though is one of the shortest males I have seen. Chota Munna was definitely bigger, but nothing out there. Was not surprised when he went missing (if it wasn’t poaching related) because Kanha probably has 20 males who are bigger than him.

Munna definitely wasn’t a small cat, he had a decent frame size and a very dense muscle composition. The guides who’d seen him said he was a big boy and had a similar frame to Bheema but more robust, so take it for what it is. CM is was also said to be a big boy, certainly not outmatched by 20 other Tigers in Kanha. Just look at the videos and images of him in his prime, he was huge.

I wish people didn’t have a grudge against certain Kanha “fanatics” because it causes some to downgrade these cats. There is a reason so many people say Kanha Tigers are larger than other Tigers. An “average” Kanha male is going to be as large as an exceptional Tiger from other reserves. Reply
