As for bandhavgarh, The charger-b2 dynasty tigers have shorter body but muscular. They rely on muscles to showcase their weight. That is their genetical drawback as well. In their lean seasons, they look small. Bheem come from this dynasty. Pannalal, Jobhi are pretty larger than bheem in my opinion.

I don't see it, Wagdoh looks fairly normal sized for a big male.

Bheem already outsized Jobhi and Pannalal was stated to be smaller than him by 2 different guides from Bandhavgarh.

Guides opinions are just opinions, have to take that as grain of salt. Everyone has their own vested interests and agendas. There were some people who posted video saying pannalal was biggest tiger in india. MinhHa is saying bhima weighed 300kg. And, Munna is bigger than Wagdoh and every other tiger. For him, every kanha tiger is 300kg. Of course they are big lies. Different people different views, own agendas. But Our eyes don't lie. In your video, Jobhi looks clearly big to me, he has longer body, bigger chest. And, bheem has eaten, otherwise he would look much smaller. Reply

jobhi and bheem are similar in size jobhi is more robust and solid bheem seems the slightly taller of the two nothing jaw dropping and idk about wagdoh being the biggest in central india he looks heavy,he's really bulky but frame wise nothing special though reckon he's round 9ft 7 long Reply

Bheem looks taller and longer than Jobhi with similar robustness.
He definitely looks like the larger cat overall, he would be heavier as well imo.

Guides see these cats daily and their word carries more weight. Not only that but when you become very familiar with a cat, it's easier to compare others to that cat.

And in regards to Kanha Tigers, there is no doubt that they outsize Tadoba Tigers. There is nothing in Tadoba that will contribute to larger cat compared to Kanha, not to mention the actual weights that have come out of both parks. 
Also, the fight videos and pictures we have from both parks always show a much heavier, stronger framed and larger skull sized cat out of Kanha compared to a skinnier Cat out of Tadoba. Lastly would be the female's, 2 dominate, territory holding females who've contributed numerous litters to Tadoba are very small. Both Maya and Choti Tara are similar in size and they are completely outsized by the females in Kanha, I already know for a fact that Link 8 looks like she's double Choti Tara's size. Reply

no doubt kanha has the bigger breed genetics also play a big role, choti tara and maya didn't contribute much most of their cubs never made it choti tara's boy gunda is a fair sized male though he must be 215-220kgs right now his paps matkasur would be a bulky tigress compared to the likes of chota munna,uma ect @Pckts Reply

malik_naren-Kanha is one of beautiful national park of India, beauty of park is evergreen Sal (shorea robusta) forest as the tree is hardly leafless. Sal forest not only provides a rich nutrition to birds and mammals but also a perfect habitat to big cats.                     kingfisher   Reply

Ya, it's been like that for some time. I feel like he's been getting pushed out further and further for the past 5 years but he some how keeps on ticking.
Probably surviving off of Cattle and avoiding conflict as best he can. Reply

Manish Khare‎-Mahaman Male
Bandhavgarh. May 2017.
Nikon Gears
It was hot summer morning in month of May.. It was our 2nd safari of the tour & we have started our morning safari from Magdhi gate. The jungle seems quiet with no alarm calls. we could only hear Indian Pitta calls & Brain Fever bird loud calls, also we coud see some Chitals grazing quietly. On our way we have check Mahaman water body, Tadoba saucer & head towards Sukhi Pattiya talab hoping to see some movement. We waited their for 10-15 minutes & then decided to check Bhul Bhuliya for any movement of dotty but no luck. We decided to move forward & check the Charakwah water body, as we approaching the water body we saw one gypsy halted on the track, the driver inform us that they saw a glimpse of tiger crossed to the left hand side (water body on the right hand side) in to the jungle. Sunil Yadav the pilot of the gypsy & me quickly decided to give it a try & access the possible points from where the tiger could come out. Finally we choose the fireline which is around 15 minutes of distance. Sunil turn around & said Manish sir पकड के बैठने को बोलो बाकी लोगों को (ask members to sit firmly) as the other members in gypsy (Satyajeet dada, Akshay, Shangrila & Sunil Kaka) are new, it was their 1st wildlife tour & now its time for them to experience the roller coster ride. We have covered the distance quickly & park our gypsy infront of fireline keeping a safe distance for any possible movement of tiger. The fireline is straight around 30-35 mtrs & then bend towards it left. 2-3 minutes pass on & we could see some movement around bend, Sunil whispered टायगर आ रहा है कॕमेरा रेडी रखो ( Tiger is coming keep your camera ready) Within seconds this magnificent king appeared on stage & started to move towards us & then rest is only camera shutter fire sound Click Click Click..
