L mark was born in mid 2016 to Raiyakassa and Langdi. He isn’t 5 yet. Chota Bheem is 4.5 years old. You can see the difference in frames of the two. When him and Collarwali had a fight last year, you yourself said he wasn’t that impressive a male as he didn’t look much bigger than Collarwali. He has added a lot of bulk in the last year or so to match his very impressive frame.

There were other photo's and videos of their fight and L Mark dwarfed Collarwali. It was just the angle of that video.

Quote:Pench has always had exceptional males in the tourism zone: Raiyakassa, Handsome, Tarzan, BMW, Mukhtar. L Mark is joining that list.

For comparison when we visited pench, a group we befriended saw the BMW male up close, then when we went to Kanha they saw the Sangam Male and they said the Sangam male dwarfed BMW.
BMW and Raiyakassa were said to be similar sized while Handsome was supposedly a little larger. Tarzan on the other hand was said by all the guides to be the largest Tiger in Pench at the time. IMO Pench isn't going to support as large of cats as Kanha. It's a little smaller, less green, hotter and prey seems to be more scattered. I actually didn't even see any Gaur while I was there although we did see some Nilgali which wasn't the case in Kanha. But I do see some big looking guys from Pench and I agree that Mukhtar looks massive as well, I'd rank them higher on the C. Indian Tiger size spectrum but still beneath Kanha.

raiya and bmw look matka sized tarzan and chorbouli male seem like the biggest there and some others though Reply
