Overrated size of Munna aka Langda of Kanha National Park

[Pckts]

Here was their response when I asked if he had seen munna and waghdoh in person and how they would match up.

1. 1. I haven't seen Wagdoh in person, but my observation is that Munna is taller, longer and bigger than Wagdoh in all departments, even though relative to his smaller size, Wagdoh is slightly bulkier though nowhere near as muscular as Munna. I also know two experienced photographers who have seen both Wagdoh and Munna several times. Both of them said Munna was the largest, he was HUGE. In fact, one look at the 2 photos of Munna above should give one a good idea on the scale of his size. Between Wagdoh and Shivaji if you have heard of Shivaji, Wagdoh is no doubt the taller, bulkier and larger of the 2. Shivaji appears longer due to shorter height. Photographers who have seen both generally agree on Wagdoh being the bigger one. Shivaji is about the same size as Katezari male, which is also a short-height tiger.Like · 11 hrs

   4.  If you check out waghdoh walking in front of the jeeps, you see how tall he really is. He also goes through skinnier phases where he is much more lean and muscular compared to times when he was just massive. Wagdoh definitely has a larger neck and probably a larger chest, but munna is definitely a more muscularly defined cat, from the images i have seen, I would still rank Waghdoh ahead of munna but both are massive cats either way. Shivaji is a massive cat as well, but you're right about his height, but he's built like a tank. I am curious how Raja stacks up, he seems to be a extremely tall cat and very muscular. Thanks for your time.
