Why ask someone else..? I saw a wonderful video of Junagadh-Devada short metre-gauge train journey, through the heart of Sasan-Gir. 

You can see the safari path level-crossing from your post #229, at 13:30.

Quote:On how they compare to tigers:
"Very strangely I found them similar in size"

Again, goes to show that trying to determine who's larger with the naked eye is very difficult, you can notice little subtleties but they aren't as outspoken as one might think.

True..
The Laxmi Niwas Palace of Bikaner, Rajasthan (it's a hotel now) built in 1904 before the hunt-ban, has multiple Indian tiger & lion skins by the Maharaja back in the days.
14 of the most prized ones are hung side by side in the Billiard Room.

The head-tail length look very similar to tigers, as Asiatics have long body & short trail. The chest girths seems to be slightly low & the limbs lanky though.
