There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I remember this male very well, he measured 213cm HBL, but we weren't sure if it was over the curves or between the pegs, we estimated him to be measured over the curves cause of the length quoted which judging from his body weight, that was probably the case.
Minh ended up saying that he was 2.93m total length or 293cm or 115inches or 9.5 feet.
Also, Minh quoted bheemas neck girth to be 75cm so I assume the measurements are somewhere but I understand if you cannot divulge the info, but if you can we'd love to see them.
What great news this is though, obviously the protection these reserves are getting is paying dividends, tigers don't get this large unless their prey base can support it.
This is now the 3rd male that has obtained this size at such a young age that I'm aware of. I remember that T24/Ustaad was 240kg when he was treated for his intestinal issues at the age of 3.5yrs old as well.
