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.

If we estimate the guy to be just 5'2 (which I don't think he is) than we get a length of around 10'4 between pegs, quite believable.  This makes KF as large as the Powalgarh bachelor.

I was taken by surprise myself as well.

But the guy to the right isn't more than ~1-2foot away from his head (SEE THE SHADOW & the NO. OF LEAVES between them).

Chances of between-the-pegs length being <10½feet look slim to me!!!

Bachelor's body is angled & Corbett stands PRETTY FAR BEHIND.
KF could actually be larger.

Well this picture of Kingfisher has opened up quite a few questions for us. Great info by everyone.

1. I still think the Bachelor is still quite large compared to kingfisher because of the size of head and the chest girth. This is my personal opinion but head on this is what I feel.

2. This should put to rest the claims made by many that Kingfisher was simply not very big but just a large belly tiger. We can see in the picture clearly that he indeed was a large tiger even with his big belly. 

3. Now that we all know how huge KF was just imagine what a tiger Umarpani is .That guy killed two prime males in KF and Bhima and didnt break a sweat. Forget all the debates about size but that tiger is simply one of the most determined bengal males out there. To kill two rivals and that too huge ones is one mean feet and I would love to see Umarpani now for all the courage he has put in into his fights.
