जब कभी भी विशालकाय टाइगर की बात होती है तो रामनगर वन प्रभाग में 1930 के बैचलर ऑफ पवलगढ़ (बाघ) का जिक्र किया जाता है।
- When ever there is talk of big tigers people describe about the "Bachelor Of Powalgarh (Tiger)" from 1930.

इसके बाद शायद ही कोई विशालकाय बाघ रिपोर्ट हुआ हो, लेकिन हाल ही में तराई लैंडस्केप में बैचलर आफ पवलगढ़ की तरह ही भारी-भरकम बाघ कैमरे में ट्रैप हुआ है। इसके भारी-भरकम शरीर को देखकर वनाधिकारी भी हैरत में हैं।
-After him probably there is no mention of big tigers. But recently a huge tiger is trapped in camera trap in tarai landscape similar to "Bachelor Of Powalgarh". The forest officials are also very surprised by seeing such a huge tiger.

बता दें कि 1930 में 3.23 मीटर लंबे ‘बैचलर ऑफ पवलगढ़’ को जिम कार्बेट ने आदमखोर होने पर ढेर किया था।
- Jim Corbett had killed the "Bachelor Of Powalgarh" which was 3.23 meters (over 10 feets) long when he became a man eater in 1930.

I think this is different tiger (or Tigress) ? Because strip pattern do not match from the above one. What do you think ?

कैमरे में कैद हुए बाघ की दो तरफ से फोटो आई है। इसमें उसका विशाल शरीर दिखाई दे रहा है।
- Images has been taken from both side by the camera trap and one can see his big size clearly

वनाधिकारियों के अनुसार सामान्य तौर पर बाघ का वजन 150 से 160 किलो तक हो सकता है, लेकिन कैमरे में जो बाघ दिख रहा है उसका वजन 250 किलो तक हो सकता है।
- According to forest official the normal weight of tiger is 150 to 160 KG but the tiger seen in this camera trap may weigh upto 250KG.

इस बाघ का इलाका सामान्य बाघ की तुलना में भी काफी बड़ा भी है, जहां उसकी सल्तनत चलती है।
- The territory of this tiger is also big when compared to normal tigers where he rules.

पश्चिमी वृत्त वन संरक्षक डॉ. पराग मधुकर धकाते बताते हैं कि इस बाघ की सुरक्षा के लिए पुख्ता इंतजाम किए गए हैं। इसमें आधुनिक तकनीक का सहारा लिया गया है।
- Forest conservationist of western area Dr. Parag Madhukar tells that they have done solid arrangement for the security of this tiger by taking help of modern technology.

Dear Sanjay, fantastic this pics of the big tiger, where this pic was taked by the camera trap? I want to clarify that the big tiger well known as "Bachelor of Powalgarh" was never a maneater he was a normal tiger living near Kaladunghi in the Powalgarh forest. The measurement of this tiger was 3,10 m (10ft 2 in) between pegs and 3,22m (10ft 7in) over the curves as measured by Jim Corbett after he was shot on november 1930. The correct way to measure is between pegs, since when measured over the curver the stats can be different at each measurement, depending on the pressure of the tape in the body of the animal, cheers.
