@Pckts You should at-least have some decency to compare similar aged tigers in similar photo angle. But, You are on agenda to discredit tadoba tigers. Wrong motives can blind rational thinking. Thats right in your case.

bro munna was a big male in prime , they used scale limited to 225kg for many males  , also bheema weighted 223 kg at age 2.5 , and mv2 195kg at age 2.4 , bro i know many people who seen many tigers in several parks , i don't quote things randomly ,i too have seen many tigers myself , some caught from wild in zoo and some in national parks . kanha does have large pool of big tigers , umarpnai , t2 , neel nala , t67 yuvraj , t46 baisanghat , m3 , db3 etc .  by the way see munna in prime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFDcMtVaZqw, we can say matkasur of tadoba is around 220-225kg in prime and munna was 10-15% larger than him which is visible .

Matkasur was probably 200kg at best.
My friend and guide when I was in Tadoba/Pench/Kanha saw Matkasur in his prime, then Mr. X (bamera son) in his prime and Chota Munna (in his prime) all on the same trip, back to back to back. Matkasur was the smallest of the 3, then Bamera son with Chota Munna being the largest of the 3. He's seen Wagdoh and Munna many times as well, both were similar in size.

In regards to the quote mentioned, that was in direct response to Minha when he mentioned he wasn't sure if they were weighed at the time. You have Jhala stating the same with his largest Tiger ever weighed coming from Kanha as well. *280-290kg* He is misrepresented the "only  1" comment since there is no mention of that in the response only mention of that tiger flooring the scale. 

@GreenForest 
Enough of your fanboy nonsense. I have no agenda, between the two of us, I'm the only one who has actually been to Tadoba while you make accusations with no real facts to back them. 

And the only Tiger with Munna's lineage in Mukki atm is Umarpani who's not even there anymore and his mother was possibly the biggest girl in Kanha. You want to talk about small Lineage, Maya and Choti Tara are some of the smallest Tigress you'll see, Saturn, Gabbar and Katezari were all near the 200kg Range. I've seen the Navegaon Male and Female and they didn't come close to Kanha Tigers or Pench, you're talking about a major difference. But of course Tadoba can have larger males as well but in the tourism area the lineage running through there is small. Reply
