In the images T-28 probably is at a higher ground (see how the Gypsy is tilted). So, tough to say if he actually crosses the bonnet, especially the metal bodywork is 4-5 inches lower at the back than engine compartment.

Quote:The confusion occurs when fan boys starts to make absurd claims, especially Kanha fan boys. I've seen few reputed fan boys claiming Uma male to be the biggest.
This is an insanely stupid claim. Uma was never the biggest even in its home Mukki range let alone Kanha and the entire India. The claim of Uma killing KF and Bheem without a single scratch is also unbelievable  (I'll talk about this later in Tiger directory thread). 

Umarpani, Jai, Bamera... There've been lots of claimant for the crown. 
People have favourites, even famous people! I thought we'd be past accepting those blindly by now...

Quote:In Ranthambore T28 aka star male was considered to be the bigger framed tiger followed closely by T10, Jhumroo, X male, Fateh etc  (this group is generally the taller group) and  there is T24, dollar male, T57, T58 etc (this group is slightly shorter at the shoulders in general).............Bheem is a very big tiger (taller and longer than Waghdoh and Jai, but less robust than prime waghdoh).

Where are you getting these from? 

Ok..T-28, Khali, Wagdoh are larger than the herd & nobody doubts that. 
But further comparisons calls for a eye-witness, someone who's seen atleast a few of 'em. 

Random photos are usually no good. I mean, that's the reason this "Gypsy comparison" started in the first place, to get a common factor... Reply
