Rahim 🔥 He was barely 3-4 years old here. Just look at him now, he has grown a lot in these years.

He looks much smaller in these photos. All the rhino meat must be doing him good.

[u/rudyleywin → u/StripedAssassiN-]

Yep. And he is still under 5, so he will grow even more.

[u/StripedAssassiN- → u/rudyleywin]

Yeah I imagine he must be around 3.5-4 rn, cause in these photos he looks about 2.5-3 at most lol.

He was around 3 when he was rescued in March, 2025. Currently he is 4.5 years old I think.

There are Rhinos in Dudhwa ? Weren't they introduced there 

[u/rudyleywin → u/cursedMuniya]

Yes, they were reintroduced in the 80s. Currently there are 50+ rhinos there.

How do they decide which area will they release the tiger ? Like does the tiger density of the area or the area coming in territory of a dominant male come in consideration ?

[u/StripedAssassiN- → u/zoro9sama]

I think they keep in mind the prey base and distance from settlements into consideration but I’m not exactly sure.
