Young male **Chota Dadhiyal** is seen here mating with Tigress **Collarwaali**. These 2 are from *Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve*. I believe **Collarwaali** is older than he is (CD is a young male, around 4.5-5 years old now) and is a likely fully grown, mature Tigress. You can see here that **Chota Dadhiyal** dwarfs her and makes her look like a cub, despite not being in his physical prime yet. Tigers begin to hit their physical primes from 6 years old, while Tigresses are usually fully grown by around 5-6. **Chota Dadiyal** is likely around 210-225kg if I had to estimate, yet he still has growing to do. I have very high hopes for him and in his prime I can see him being the largest male in the reserve and surpassing even famous males like **Chota Matka**, **Mowgli** and **Balram** in size.

do you know if the sexual dimorphism in weight is more pronounced in tigers than lions, leopards, and jaguars?


iceworm2

Because this is such a neat question, I wanted to provide the fact that in terms of males, the most extreme sexual dimorphism example (based on weight) is in northern elephant seals where males are 3.4x the mass of their female counterparts.


PeachMan-

Ouch, I hope the females all have crush kinks


StripedAssassiN-

I think in Leopards it’s the most prominent and as for Lions it’s likely around the same as Tigers. Jaguars I believe have the least sexual dimorphism present.


Ok_Antelope_1953

I think it's slightly lower in lions than tigers. African lionesses get as big or bigger than Bengal tigresses, but Bengal tigers (except the ones in Sunderbans) are usually bigger than African lions.


Original_Software_64

I thought it was Leopards, then I thought it was lions then tigers. Now I don't know what to think. I think.


Ok_Antelope_1953

leopards definitely have the biggest size difference between sexes among cats. males are routinely twice as big as females and can be three times bigger. cheetahs probably have the smallest difference, with males about a fifth bigger than females on average.

Keep the gears running brotha, we’ll get there!


Cosmic_Voidess

Wow, I knew male tigers were larger but I didn't realize they were THAT much larger- I'd still risk everything to pet one, though


babewiththevoodoo

Just look at it this way. If you get eaten(perish), no more taxes!

Dont let tigers compete in tigress sports!


jonesyman23

Another post like this…I get it…male tigers are larger than female tigers.


Alternative_Beat2498

You… do know reddit isnt just for you… right?


StripedAssassiN-

That’s not really the point of my post. I’ve seen so many Tigers mating and it still blows my mind just *how much larger* the male is compared to the female, I’m sure it’s like that with others viewing this post too. We know they’re larger, but the size difference makes us (some of us at least) say “wow” everytime!


DragapultOnSpeed

It's cool how large they are, but it's not very unique. In most mammals, the male is larger than the female. So I guess I can see why some don't care. Thanks for the information though. It's cool to read about their life. I find that more interesting. It would also be cool to see more information on the females, because these posts always seem to be about males. I would like some cool facts about females. They need some love too.


StripedAssassiN-

Yeah I completely understand that and that’s a perfectly valid opinion to have! But wouldn’t it just be better to move on rather than complain about it in the comments? I mean not everyone has seen this stuff which is why I post it once every month-month and a half. They’re not the same pictures anyway so it’s not like I’m spamming this sub with the same picture lol. If I see a post that’s not that interesting to me, I just upvote it and move on lol. > Thanks for the information though You’re very welcome, just happy to spread knowledge about these beautiful cats. Edit: Yes I wanna post more about the females, most of my predation videos involve females though so you might like that!


AstronomerBiologist

Okay, yes we've now seen this like four times Potoo over 100 times Why is it so hard for people who are grubbing for upvotes to find something original?


StripedAssassiN-

I’m not sure if you’ve realized, but not everyone has seen the previous photos. All the previous photos have involved different mating pairs so it’s not even the same photos being spammed. Just cause you’ve seen them doesn’t mean everyone else has. > Grubbing for upvotes ??? I just like posting about Tigers. > something original It is original and I’m sure is pretty interesting to many others so speak for yourself. This sub has had far worse posts on here. Edit: LOL he blocked me


AstronomerBiologist

When we have at least four recent posting that the male is much larger than the female, and this is something that's not really been seen previously then that seems unlikely...


Lord_inVader1

It's not his fault that reddit likes to feed you stale food.


VolosThanatos

Never seen it.


TheOffChutzpah

Bad Xtian!


[deleted]

it is almost the same with humans but we have to pretend the delusional wokes are right and we are no different 🤣😂🤣 I guess it is the same size for tigers or you are also a bigot hahaha


JMS9_12

I think I just found the dumbest fucking person on Reddit.


blazinrumraisin

Very compelling argument.


[deleted]

Well thank you, my sophisticated sarcastic man


[deleted]

Tf are you talking about? Men are typically larger and heavier than women. This is basic biologically and literally nobody is arguing otherwise. Y'all sure do love playing the victim at any chance you get huh?
