There is no reason to spin it further.  If Wagdoh has 130cm chest girth, what can we say for other tigers in central india? 110cm?  

@Pckts Every park has mix of small and big tigers. Tadoba is no exception. But, you used couple of tadoba weights and bashed tadoba tigers for years as if they are small, inferior tigers. Now, when a big tadoba weight is published, you got shocked and now you are making all sort of excuses. Hope you learnt some lesson. Some of the largest tigers i have seen (Wagdoh, shiva, yeda anna, ookhan, narashimha etc etc) come from tadoba. They definitely preserved some of the big genes.

Bashed?
I’ve been to Tadoba, Kanha and Pench. It has nothing to do with bashing, I’ve seen it first hand. Spoke with people first hand who’ve been traveling there for years. 
The facts are the facts, Teak forests produce smaller Tigers than Sal forests. You have the largest Tiger in Tadoba recorded now right and his measurements are surpassed by numerous Sal Forest Tigers. 
It’s pretty simple, Cooler temps, more rain and hilly terrain will produce larger cats assuming all prey density is equal. More prey and / or larger prey will add into that. This is why I think it’s safe to assume Kaziranga Tigers should be the largest alive today. Reply
