Yeda Anna, Shivaji , Vasant Bandhara to name a view. then from other park we have B2, Bokha, Bamera, Raja, Agashtya, Munna, Banda, Pattewala, Naak kata, Star male, Jhumroo, Machli, Khali etc...really ..these names brought back memories of old ava. from the picture bellow i belive only two of them are still alive, but Waghdoh is the only one who still lives in the wild.  *This image is copyright of its original author here i made a quick photoshop based from his head size to see how old waghdoh compares to his prime  *This image is copyright of its original author wish all the best for this living legend to continue his journey till the end  (08-02-2020, 12:54 PM)phatio Wrote:(07-27-2020, 07:29 PM)Pckts Wrote: One more of Waghdoh crossing the tracks recently Broadgauge in India is 5ft6in or 167.64m wide.  *This image is copyright of its original author

Just for comparison, the Sauraha Male was 6'5" in a straight line.

Yes, that broad-gauge width is standardised in all south Asian countries. The remote areas with low traffic has metre-gauge railway lines. Like this one from Dudhwa. ©Natureinfocus, Ankit Kashyap  *This image is copyright of its original author PS Yes, Wagdoh probably is more stout than he is large in dimensions.

Sauraha being a Terai male should be longer. From the naked eye, the males from the whole terai belt look longer in general. That Rajaji specimen is still the longest I've seen, at least in photos. I believe Central Indian males are less longer yet so robust. I love that build. Especially the one's from Bandhavgarh. They just have this build (Very perfect proportions) and robust. Prime Waghdoh was up there in terms of sheer beauty. But overall I believe its Kazi and Dudhwa males and few from Nepal and Corbett that seem to have both the length and also the muscles. I've also felt that Nagarhole tigers look longer as well compared to Central Indian tigers. But they lack that build. I might be wrong. Because I've never been to Nagarhole. Only seen photos. Thanks for the comparison though.

Measuring, I'm getting 198 cm in a straight line. The measurement of the track that needs to be used is a bit behind the arrow. Two questions, is 168 cm the diameter in the rims of the tracks or including the outer border of the rims. Next, was Sauraha measured in a straight line or was it somewhat over curves?

Straight line for Sauraha male. M2 for instance was a 2.4 year old from Kanha and he measured 205cm over the curves and weighed 195kg.. His tail was an additional 92cm and shoulder height was 125cm. Over the curves protocol for all. 
a living legend indeed, this brings back so much memories. exactly a decade later. tfs!
So looks like Wagdoh is give or take similar in length to Sauraha accounting for perspective distortion and Wagdoh being in standing position. I wonder how his girth compares.
 *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Track size is 167cm His front portion over the track looks slightly further than half way... let's say 90cm His back portion over the tracks on the other side looks to not be as long as the front, let's say 80-85cm Total length of 170-175cm. Remember you must measure to the base of the tail not where his foreleg and back leg reach to. That being said, he's slumped down in the front and his spine is curved a bit, if we we're to to lay him straight with his head resting on the ground and body straightened, he may reach that 190 ish cm mark.
I feel the arrow is in the wrong position. I am not on a desktop at the moment so I can’t use images. Look at the small mound of dirt in front of the back of his forefoot. Following that trail the arrow is too close to the camera. On top of that, the part of the photo that is to be measured would sit even further behind his forefoot, further making the arrow’s location too close to the camera.

The body may be in in little curvature. So, length may be even more. Wagdoh is huge specimen as far as I know.
