Wild carnivores and humans compared

[Pckts]

A few things,
1st
Sultan is obviously a large cat but he's still walking on higher ground as you can see when he begins to creep forward, his body lowers significantly and you also never actually get to see him walk in front of any Gypsy.

@Apollo 
I was not aware of the fact that you have seen wild Tigers, which parks did you go to and when?


3rd
In regards to your statements about C. Indian Tigers v Ranth. Tigers

All of the people I have spoken with who've seen both don't share the same opinion as you, in fact, the opinion I have heard is that Ranth. Tigers are no larger in frame but are a bit leaner in body type.
I believe a couple here who've seen both have said the same, but I can't be certain about that cause I don't remember exactly what they said to a T.

In regards to Kanha Tiger size, I have spoken with numerous guides in kanha, and most say Bheema was not larger than Uma, KF, Munna, Sangam, etc. All those males are considered similar in size and none of the guides were willing to put one ahead of the other, they always said they were too close in size to know for sure. But in regards to the deaths of KF and Bheema, most weren't sure but the ones that were more familiar with it thought it was Uma. 

5th
C. Indian Tiger size v Terai Size

I have seen conflicting opinions, Kanwaar says Corbet and Kaziranga, another (I forget her name, she was saying it on the TOK) says Kanha 
Both have seen all of them and have many experiences in these parks.


But the opinion I here most isn't locations it's individuals...
I am fairly confident in my opinion at this point, I've spoken to enough people and seen many examples with my own two eyes and if you remove the "fan boy" aspect as you like to say, you come to this conclusion.
There is absolutely no way that any one can tell which tiger population is bigger or smaller, taller or longer, it just doesn't work like that. The differences between them are way to minimal to make that assessment, sure you may see a large male and he may be the biggest you've ever seen but I will guarantee you that in that same park and probably even that same zone, there will be another average sized to small sized male walking around. If you choose to say "well, that male is the biggest so this park must have the biggest," that's your prerogative but you will most likely be doing yourself and others a disservice. Reply
