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'm about to go on our next safari and had no luck in mukki again Thisbe morning but got some cool info. We're going to the area they told us to go today and if we're lucky, we'll see the same sightings.

Info on Kahna tiger size:
Bheema was larger than kingfisher
Chotta Munna is almost the same size as bheema, slightly smaller
Ronda is much larger than bheema and t1 is even larger than him.
Munna in his prime was much larger than bheema
t67 I believe, I forget how to spell his name is also massive.
Umarpani isn't seen by many so not much info on his size
All info was from guides and drivers from Kahna.

Waghdoh was larger than Munna in his prime. Same size at the shoulder but waghdoh is longer and thicker but Munna was massive as well, just goes to show how big waghdoh actually was. This comes from my personal guide who's seen both many times. Waghdoh was probably a 272kg + tiger.

@Garfield 
I'll pm you payment info but lions aren't seen outside of gir and unless you specifically go there you will not see them anywhere else in India.
@Pckts  Lovely info. Wow this information has totally surprised me.

1. We all saw the picture of KF's dead body and he looked as large as anyone. And here if Bhima is larger than him than that's cherry on the top.
2. Munna in his prime was much larger than bheema - I am not sure about the word much here. coz that would make munna a 300 kg tiger since Bheema weighed 225 kg at 3 years old as far as i remember. anyways great info.
3. Yes we all know Waghdoh was always special.no doubt about it.
4. Ronda, t1 and t67- can anyone please post more info about these three here. would be helpful for me
5. Umarpani not seen by many. but I don't think that's needed. That guy killed both bhima and KF. I can bet on it he is the most determined and as of now one of the biggest tiger in Kanha.
6. Chota Munna and Bheema for me were quite evenly matched anyways and so is there size.

7. Many of us have always believed that in Central India Kanha Males are the largest even after seeing the pench and tadoba males (keeping prime Waghdoh aside). Info by pckts has only helped in making this case stronger. But here is what is more exciting for me. By photographs also Kanha Males and Waghdoh looked every bit that they are. In that case I have no doubt whatsoever that in Kaziranga and Terai not few but many 280 kg+ beasts are roaming because they even dwarf kanha males both in pics and as described by people.

Also @Pckts thanks for the great info and please post any pics if possible. would be great to see some tigers from Kanha and Pench.
