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.

3rd Jan 2015, near Duke's road. Umarpani male was seen chasing Kingfisher across the road. The two then engaged in another fight which was caught on vid. The sheer muscle mass of Uma male was made clearly visible as he threw himself through the road. PC: Shaurya Reshamwala.

I'm 6'5'' and the lions and tigers I have seen are usually a bit lower than waist level for me.

@Pckts @epaiva The Gypsy has a bonnet-top height of 115 cm at safari configurations. The guy seems more like 5'7"...

Seems about right, none I saw were near the height of a Gypsy hood nor the land rover hood.

I had this idea of comparing with vehicle from an article in an Bengali amature travelogue at '14-'15. The author specialised in wildlife-safari stories...

He said, among the ones he has seen, Khali almost crossed the bonnet height..followed by T-28 of Ranthambore, who came close to it.

This is what I've been saying for very very long time.
Check my post 195 in Tiger directory.

Northern and Northwestern tigers are bigger framed. They are taller and longer than our general well known central Indian tigers.
Central Indian tigers appear more robust (massive bodies). This robust appearance is partly contributed by their smaller stature. 
The north (northern and northwestern) tigers even when gorged won't appear very robust coz of their bigger frame (longer limbs and bodies).
This is easily observable

The confusion occurs when fan boys starts to make absurd claims, especially Kanha fan boys. I've seen few reputed fan boys claiming Uma male to be the biggest tiger.
This is an insanely stupid claim. Uma was never the biggest even in its home Mukki range let alone Kanha and the entire India. The claim of Uma killing KF and Bheem without a single scratch is also unbelievable  (I'll talk about this later in Tiger directory thread). When it comes to Mukki the bigger framed tiger was Late Bheema he was taller and longer among the 4, but the heaviest was KF coz he was closer to Bheema in frame size but much more robust in built. Uma male is a above average tiger with bigger head and muscular body. 

Among central Indian tigers Waghdoh is a big framed tiger in Tadoba, Jai is a big framed tiger from Umredh, Bheem is a very big tiger (taller and longer than Waghdoh and Jai, but less robust than prime waghdoh) he fought and injured his brother Mangu twice recently in Bandhavgarh. 


In Ranthambore T28 aka star male was considered to be the bigger framed tiger followed closely by T10, Jhumroo, X male, Fateh etc  (this group is generally the taller group) and  there is T24, dollar male, T57, T58 etc (this group is slightly shorter at the shoulders in general).



Here are some pics and a vid showing T28''s height and massive size. Star male crosses the bonnet height.
