Romeo was defeated and ran off by T25, correct?



 

Raja looks to be a tall tiger, but I dont no whether he is as tall as Star male.
When it comes to Waghdoh and Munna, Im pretty sure they are not as tall as Star male.
Ranthambore tigers are similar to Corbett tigers, they are taller and longer.
Madhya pradesh tigers are not that tall or long but very bulky.

T25 entered the territory of Romeo (T6).
The tiger in this video is Star male (T28).


 

Ya, I removed it. I saw Romeo on the title of the video and got confused.

We are talking about cm's difference if any at all, There would be no benefit to one being slightly taller than the other, I think Ranthambhore tigers probably look taller because of their slimmer build. But the infamous pics of Waghdoh walking infront or past the jeep or Raja, are as tall as a tiger can get imo. It would just be to hard to really know the differnce with the naked eye, they would be to close. It's not like comparing body length or girth.
Saturn is said to be tall and Katezari is said to be shorter, when they fought, both where very close in shoulder height, its just Katezari has the bulkier build. I would use that as a example, what do you think?


 

 

Yes the difference will be few cm. 
Im not sure whether there are benefits being taller, but in most of the reserves tigers dont get the chance to interbreed with other reserve tigers.
Tiger in Ranthambore are mostly the descendents of the Machali, X male and Bamboo Ram. These tigers are said to be very big dimensionally (taller and longer), so these offsprings are also big dimensionally.
In general Northern Indian Tigers are taller and longer than Central Indian tigers.


Here is another pic of T28 male tiger
