He smaller than T42, T25 and T29 and his son is his size as well.

They are all more or less the same size.

Even T28
Edit:I see I wrote T29 accidentally, I meant T28.

Everybody I spoke with who have seen them usually say that T28 is the largest of the pack and T25(ustads bro) was larger than he is.

Have you seen them all?
I know its hard to tell but who do you think would be the largest there?

Actually, I have seen only T24 and 25. A naturalist told us that T24,25 and 28 were about the same size, 28 being slightly bigger. He was talking in context of our safari, which was in zone 4 and he said we had a good chance of sighting since the three males were fighting over the now deceased T-17 and zone 4 happened to be her territory. Eventually, we saw 25 & 17 from real up close. This was in 2011. At that time, t28 was about 6 years old while 24 & 25 were 4 years old. So maybe that could be a reason.

T25 walked past by our jeep and my heart almost skipped a beat looking at his size. I saw 24 from some distance so cannot say for sure which one was bigger, since they are so closely matched. But he was a big tiger nonetheless. Both were far bigger than the captive bengals I had seen in Indian zoos.

Sorry, haven't seen t42. Reply
