Tiger killed in territorial fight in Wayanad wildlife sanctuary K R Rajeev | TNN | Jan 20, 2016, 09.17 PM IST KOZHIKODE: A male tiger was found dead in the Muthanga range of the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary (WWS) on Wednesday. Forest officials said that the around 7- year old male tiger died due to wounds sustained in a territorial fight with another male tiger. Forest staff found the body at Kadukakuni, not far away from a settlement, when they ventured to the forest at 6 am in the morning. Following the sighting, senior forest department officials including state chief wildlife warden G Harikumar and chief conservator of forests (wildlife) Pramod G. Krishnan, who were camping in Wayanad, and WWS wildlife warden P Dhanesh Kumar reached the spot. S Heeralal, Assistant Wildlife Warden, WWS, said that the forest staff heard load roars of the tiger which emerged victorious in the territorial fight when they went to recover the carcass. The postmortem was conducted at the forest lab at Kuppadi as per NTCA guidelines. Forest veterinary surgeon Dr V I Jijimon who conducted the post-mortem said that the tiger which weighed 320 kg had sustained severe injuries in the fight. "The big cat had sustained severe injuries in a ferocious territorial fight with another tiger. The death was caused due to a deep bite injury in its neck. The foreleg of the animal was also fractured. The fight could have taken place some 40 hours back and the death had happened 12 hours prior to the recovery of the body"" he said. WWS wildlife warden Dhanesh Kumar said that camera traps have been fixed at the site where the body was found and patrolling has been intensified in the area. The WWS is the state's prime tiger habitat accounting for 76 of the total of 136 tigers in the state as per the status of tigers in India, 2014 report. Tigers fiercely guard their territory normally spread across 10 sq km. It is natural for territorial fights to break out between competing tigers in which stronger animals drive out the weak and older tigers outside their territories.   
Hi.
About the Wayanad wildlife sanctuary case. I found this a month ago, but I didn't take it seriously, here is why. A picture of it is shown in the article below. The tiger shown is clearly not a giant, I would guess that the animal was probably closer to 220 kg then 320 kg. http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/Turf-war-claims-male-tiger-at-Wayanad-Wildlife-Sanctuary/article14011928.ece 
I feel like i have seen that picture before and also majority of the pictures in the news articles are just representational. the best way is to confirm with the authorities that weighed the big male.
I've write to the officials. When i have news (if they reply to me), i will update you. Thanks to all for the suggestions.

Tadoba-Andhari tiger of 197 kg: Well, here is the case of a young adult tiger that was a cattle eater and that attacked a farmer when he tried to protect a cow. So, the animals was captured and resulted that it was a male of about 4 years old, with a large injure in a paw, broken canines and a deep cut in its nose. The animal was measured along the curves, but sadly the video doesn't show if it was hold straight or not. However, when they measured the tail, they hold the tape straight, so we can guess that it was measured in a straight line, like many Indian tigers. The results are: Weight: 197 kg. Total length: 111 inches (282 cm). Tail length: 38 inches (96.5 cm). The only thing that bothers me is that when they weighed the tiger, a small portion of the head and back legs are actually in the air, so is possible that some "weight" could be missed in the procedure, but never mind.  *This image is copyright of its original author *This image is copyright of its original author This is the name of the documentary, in case that someone want to see it. I saw the program in Spanish.  *This image is copyright of its original author *This image is copyright of its original author This is where they mention the weight of 197 kg. She says that it was a large animal. They also mentions the figure in the video.

So, apart from Gabbar (185 kg), we have a new weight from the Tadoba-Andhari reserve. Sadly, is not from a healthy specimen, but it seems worthy of been included in our table of modern records. Sorry for the bad quality of the video, but I filmed it in a rush.

WII team radio-collars 2 tigers in Brahmapuri division Two sub-adult tigers, a male and a female of same litter, were radio-collared as a part of project titled 'Studying the dispersal of tigers across the EasternVidarbha Landscape', in Bramhapuri forest division in Chandrapur. At least three more tigers are expected to be fitted with satellite collars in Brahmapuri division in the phase-II collaring exercise under the project. The report submitted by WII expert Habib Bilal to state forest department stated the operation was taken up earlier in the first week of June in South Brahmapuri range. The expert team tracked and located the female cub in the morning of June 3, near Mama talao in Halda. The team successfully darted the cub, set the collar and took the necessary body measurement as per standard protocol. The female cub weighing 104kg was set free after administering revival drug and entire operation was accomplished within 40 minutes. The WII team carried out the collaring exercise on sub-adult male of same litter at the same place the next day (June 4). The tiger was tranquillized, captured and collared by experts. The operation was carried out smoothly and the collared male weighing 147kg was set free after revival, Bilal has stated in his report submitted on Saturday. CCF, Chandrapur, Sanjay Thakre ratified the radio-collaring of two tigers in South Brahmapuri range. We have marked three more tigers for radio-collaring. The same WII team will carry out the collaring of these marked individuals in coming day. Collaring of sub-adult tigers just separated from mother helps in studying their dispersal and behavioural pattern. Collaring also helps studying the conflict situation as these sub-adult tigers disperse in the forest. If any of them settles near human habitation or starts creating trouble, then they can be tracked and removed with the help of collar, he said. Thakre informed that the tigers being collared are those being marked for proposed tiger translocation project. Collaring will serve twofold purpose for these Brahmapuri tigers. While they are here, collars will help in studying their dispersal and behavioural pattern. Once translocation project is finalized, they will be tracked with the help of collars and captured for translocation. Satellite collars will again help tracking these shifted tigers in new location and study them in new habitat, he explained. While the team led by WII scientist Bilal successfully radio-collared two tigers in Brahmapuri, it failed to tranquillize target tigers in Umred-Karhandla and Tipeshwar wildlife sanctuaries during the seven-day schedule in phase-II collaring exercise. The team has decided to try collaring these carnivores in the next phase. Bilal said they have planned collaring of 15 tigers in Vidarbha. He however did not give his schedule for next collaring exercise. Jai, Gabbar re-collared The report on radio-collaring of tigers states the popular tiger of Umred Karhandla wildlife sanctuary 'Jai' and adult male of Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve 'Gabbar' were re-collared during the first phase of radio-collaring in March earlier this year. Bilal's report states that, Jai was intensively tracked from Pauni to Umred range and was darted on the Karhandla road on March 18. The previous collar on Jai, which had malfunctioned due to unknown reason, was replaced with a new one. Gabbar too was tranquillized on March 19, and its collar replaced. Gabbar was first collared on October 19, 2014.

" https://translate.google.com/translate?h...1437551531 It is odd however, that in the article, it mentions something about a young tiger and also a female. I don't know if this relates to the same animal. 
Actually, there was a radiocollared male that weighed 200 kg in Thailand. I still have a picture of this animal, it was many years ago (2003 or 2004), but sadly in those days, I did not take screenshoots nor save links. Now, the page no longer exists and I have not found an email or something to corroborate that weight. Still, I am very sure about the weight of that male and also a female of 120 kg, both from Thailand.
Hi all.
I found a picture of the body of the 303 kg tiger from Vietnam. The parts which where found weighed 668 pounds, this appears to not include the internal organs.  *This image is copyright of its original author http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...icine.html |
