Karai Ghati Male, he's currently in the midst of a territorial dispute with munna. As for weight estimation, Bheema, the male that was just killed weighed 225kg when he was 2.5yrs, the male that killed him was said to be larger and this male is said to be as large as that male, So it's probably safe to assume he's a 250kg male.

Info on the Karai Ghati Male lineage

Minky Rao

Does anyone know which tiger this is ? It was a sub - adult at the time. Took this pic in 2006. And I think it was on link 7

Vijayarajan Muthu That's one of the sons of Banda & Old Link-7 Female. We call him Jr.Banda#1. He was collared subsequently, went to Mukki & got killed by the resident Male there. Thanks for sharing !
Vijayarajan Muthu You're most welcome. Btw, the current Karai Ghati Male happens to be the son of this guy's brother, Jr.Banda#2.
Minky Rao Wow ! The Karai Ghati male ! That huge tiger! ! So I have a pic of Jr. Banda#1's brother. Would this be Karai Ghati males father ? Thanks so much

Minky Rao They were both there with their mother. Jr. Banda#1 was resting and his brother was feeding
Vijayarajan Muthu Yes, that's him Minky Rao, TFS ! He'd sired Karai Ghati Male with the Old Digdola Female.

It was a cold winter morning on the 11th of December.

We were waiting for sounds on Badrinath road. Suddenly we heard a loud roar towards link road number 9. We rushed there but even after waiting for half an hour to no avail. Then we checked road number 8 and 7 and returned to road number 9.
Then out of no where without any warning calls this beautiful pair emerged.
Bajrang and link 8 female. And boy he was really angry.
It was fate and irony that we saw Bajrang the very day bheema breathed his last. Bheema and Bajrang are siblings.

Vijayarajan Muthu Lovely one, that's Male T-64 with Female T-76. TFS Swethakumar !



It was irony that the very day his brother Bheema breathed his last in kanha we saw his brother Bajrang in Kanha zone.

December 11th 2016.

How crazy, the day Bheema passes his brother is spotted, incredible.

Exceptionally massive male tiger with a huge head seen at Indri road last month, photos shared by some guest of Tuli. I keep telling people they don't know what they're missing by skipping the Indri route. People should really wake up and start touring Indri more and more, where some of the finest tigers of kanha reside. It's also one of the most picturesque areas of the park as well.

Minh Ha Choti Mada is a large frame tigress, with a thick build to boot, inheriting her body size from her mom, Minkur female. That's why her cubs with Uma male have the best genetics combination and will break all records before long.

Bajrang the brother of Bheema, looks bigger than Bheema imho. also I don't think Bheema ever peaked over 240kg in his life ever, as a 2.5 year old male he certainly grew fast but then his weight fluctuations were far too noticeable to ignore every year and this year. I would assume that Bheema that we saw from October/2015 and onwards was barely 190-200kg.

Limping male, a very big tiger with a massive head and neck who walked with a permanent limp and ruled Chimta camp between 1998-2008 and Mukki between 2004-2008. He fathered several males, including Pattewala and Red Eye. He's a possible sibling of Banda/PoochKatta.
