There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I do notice that Corbett Tigers seem to have the neck like Waghdoh or Dendu though. Very large neck areas on them...

"In 1910, Jim Corbett shot a tiger in North India, this one weighed 317 kg (700 lbs).
In the 1930s, Jim Corbett shot the Bachelor of Powalgarh tiger, thought to be "as big as a Shetland pony" by the famous hunter Fred Anderson. This big guy measured 3.23m, as opposed to 3.35m of the 389 kg giant killed in 1967. His book: "Man-eaters of Kumaon". Picture of this tiger shows that its build is on a par with the 1967 giant. This Kumaon district is in northwest India, bordering Nepal to the east. It is where the famous Corbett national park resides. 
In 1942, a large tiger killed in Chitwan, Nepal mentioned by E. A. Smythies in his book "Big game shooting in Nepal": 320 kg, or 705 lbs.
1955: Colonel Kesri Singh observed a tiger killing a big tusker all by itself also in Assam, Northeast India. This deed is recorded in his book “The tiger of Rajasthan” as: "Death by a Thousand cuts". He also stated that all that’s left behind, apart from the huge elephant carcass, are this tiger’s pugmarks which are as big as a dinner plate. This confirmed the shear weight and size of this massive tiger is on a par, or equal with the giant 389 kg tiger killed in North India in 1967. "
