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 bet the photographer had no idea that he was commenting on a tiger that was way past his prime age and around 12 years of age in that particular photo. also, that’s the old thunder male. the same male you posted about in 2018. evidently, tigers at that age will lose muscle mass. i wouldn’t take the photographer’s opinion serious there if i were you. in his prime days, this male was a force to be reckoned with and as per the sources. he was considered to be the biggest male in Dudhwa during his glory days.

Quote:Camera traps are very skewed depending on lots of factors.
I agree with you there, same thing i find with picture comparisons of animals. too many inconsistencies. i’ll try to do a best of Terai vs Assam based on camera traps in a few days when i get more time to dig into my old data base.
The photographer has many different tigers from Dudhwa/Pilibhit/Corbett and is not a casual tourist but a professional like Kanwaar.
Another shot of that male from him (thes are 3 plus years old)

Here’s a Kaziranga male he shot

His experience is vast (Bardiya, Pilibhit, Dudhwa, Corbett, Kaziranga, Ranthambore, Kanha, Tadoba, Kabini and Bandhavgarh) and regardless of Thunders age he still looks good there but was outsized by Kaziranga Tigers.
