You've been a tadoba fan boy for years, trying to discredit everyone presenting actual facts.

how am i a fanboy when all i do is share the lives of Tadoba tigers and i have done it for over a decade purely out of passion. for years i believed they were mediocre size wise. if i was such a fanboy, i’d be comparing them to the likes of Terai and Kaziranga males but i have no such history. i’m just very realistic when i follow the lives of tigers in general. i see them for who they are. you believe in science fiction, most of your logic is flawed and lately in the internet world. you have become a meme. such a male Karen, it’s beyond cringe.

totally irrelevant discussion, somehow you turned this into Roflcopters vs Vijay when i haven’t even insulted the dude or acknowledged the dude’s existence. lastly, i don’t care if anyone gets in their feelings. i say things how it is. if someone doesn’t like it. it’s too damn bad. Alpha male rule #1 - don’t get in your feelings   

I asked you to present proof of Kanha tiger weights without mentioning a bunch of statements that we all have seen over the years, almost repetitively. where is the concrete proof? word of mouth isn’t enough and holds no credibility in the real world. these people you see as messiah aren’t exempt from this grilling. at the end of the day, everyone wants a disclosure. people here are contributing on this topic for a reason. perhaps you should read the topic title before turning this into a toxic debate. most people here are only here for transparency and legitimacy of weights and measurements. you were summoned to provide proof but instead, you would much rather run around and get all aggressive and emotional.

Quote:Thats just a myth. Most of the tigers you see in Mukki zone are descendants of Munna. Munna used to be average tiger, not known for his size. If you read @Pckts screenshot previous page, out of 9 tigers weighed in Kanha, only one crossed 225kg.

Munna was a very mediocre sized tiger at best, overhyped by Minh ha aka Asianbuffalo. he used to claim 350-400kg for Munna. in reality, Munna was just your average size male from Kanha. nothing special. 

bro planet documentary on kanha tigers see from 19:30 to 20:00 , the avg wt is 230kgs mentioned here .    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_efdMOd0io&t=30s

I honestly wouldn’t doubt that, most dominant males in their prime ages should be able to hit that. my whole argument is that there are many more Wagdoh/Umarpani in both parks than what some people would like to think. this person is basically saying tadoba tigers are much smaller because he has weights of 3 males out of a total population of 115 (the actual number could be more or less) and in person he has seen one male to come to this final conclusion. the argument lacks all common sense, sample size alone is so tiny. it’s literally irrelevant. his only proof is what this guide said or what that guide said. all hot air. no real proof and somehow we’re supposed to believe in his fairytales. he also claims Kanha tigers should be bigger because of food abundance alone but in the grand scheme of things. it’s a combination of things. 

food : generally tigers with the biggest territories will have the best of everything at their disposal.

genes : very decisive factor, big frame generally will give a tiger huge advantage at max capacity.

dominance : the most dominant of males, if they are good hunters too will usually come off well seasoned every time of the year. KF, Wagdoh, Shiva and Umarpani were massive all year long from my memory. 

so again, size is individual based and can’t be generalized. 

to further my argument, there are mix of every tiger in Tadoba (Umred/Brahmapuri/Nagzira) are all so connected and it’s been proven that tigers have all moved around from these parks. it’s the same case with Kanha & Pench. Bajrang alone had a territory size far bigger than any Kanha male ever did and he was a large male in his prime. to claim that these tigers are small based on the smallest sample size is purely foolish and fanatical at best. some would even see it as bashing, it could be unintentional but it is something that’s being overlooked at and it needs to stop. 3 out of 115 is all the number he’s working with. just my two cents.
