His prime is definitely over, but, I see him holding onto that territory for some time still. Younger males still have to contend with his size (and maybe his sons can match his size, but, I don’t see other males getting as big).

I'm not talking about his scar on his nose, just the damage to his eye.

I'll try to find the recent video of him but you can see his atrophy starting to kick in, he's also developing that swollen elbow joint you see in old tigers like we saw in Ryakassi and Raja, most likely a form of arthritis but seems to be another sign of their age catching up with them. Reply
