Hi guys,
Its about the latest images I posted of Sultan, which infact is not Sultan but another male called T58. Both these males had quite similar stripe pattern which led to this confusion. I guess I became very excited when I saw the name Sultan, hence I didnt compare the stripe pattern. Anyways Thanks to Shasanka Nanda and Vijayarajan Muthu for clarifying it. Cheers

I to am curious as to the cause of those bumps.... hopefully just fat masses and nothing more. Soumyajit Nandy This is Virat, other son of Sharmili. Unlike Pandit, he is extremely shy and is generally seen in company of his brother only. He too is a gorgeous male and one of the to-be-much-sought-after tiger in Bijrani.

Pandit and Virat are the two sons of Sharmili who generally used to move around together. These two have grown up into massive males who will be much sought after in the coming days in Bijrani. Virat is shy type whereas Pandit is quite bold and love to pose for the photographers!

While Bittu weighed in at 138 Kgs, Srinivas weighed in at 127 Kgs. Pckts Wrote: @shaileshsharadnaik Pckts is right.

So they should be around 17 odd months old now. 
Chandi's female cub from T1 aka Balram died on October,26, 2014 and two weeks prior Chandi had given birth to Jai's four cubs. (Completely abandoning her previous cub) so Im guessing first week of October 2014 is when they were actually born. their exact age should be around 19 months.
Out of the 4 cubs, Bittu and Srinivasa stay together mostly and hunt together at times. The female cub of chandi is very bold and prefers to do her own thing. Jaichand is the biggest out of all the male cubs and he often follows Jai around and is probably going to be a serious threat to Jai in a few years. Vijay @ Is there any source for the weights? Thats pretty huge given their little age but it doesnt surprise me. Jai and Chandis cubs are the biggest I have seen from Central India.

Roflcopters, Kindly note, Jaichand & Bittu/Srinivasa are from 2 different litters sired by Jai. Tigress Chandi had delivered 4 cubs in her previous litter (3 Males, the largest of them being Jaichand + 1 Female). While Jaichand left the family early & began venturing out to other parts of his father's territory upto Gotangaon, the remaining 3 (2 males & the female cub) sort of stick around each other even now and do not seem to venture out of Chandi's territory at all. The Gothangaon Tigress T-6 had delivered a litter of 2 Male cubs (Bittu & Srinivasa) in late 2014 and the duo stays together more on the Gothangaon side (their mother's prime territory) with frequent forays into Karhandla side of the park namely Gaipani, Swami tippat, Pullar gate upto Khitadi mandir. Interestingly, this area is currently being shared by Chandi's cubs too with no recorded confrontations between them as of now. It's difficult to get hold of official records on the measurement of individuals who were immobilised for radio-collaring purpose. However, the Hon.Wildlife Warden Mr.Karoo who was present during the entire operation was kind enough to share the info. As you rightly say, those certainly are above average weights for cubs of that age.
I always thought Bittu and Srinvasa were Jaichand's siblings but looks like i had it mixed up, so the other 2 male brothers of Jaichand are the ones running around with no names i suppose? same with the female, besides her picture. theres literally no name for her. very Interesting and thanks for clearing the confusion.
