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 was just reading that news, and I am just as surprised as you.

I will still wait more info and hopefully pics to know who's the dead tiger, mostly because it was also said that Umarpani could have been the one killed.

But anyway, great news and quite interesting it happened now.

Initially they thought it was uma but that was reported too soon.  It looks like it's for sure kf, uma still hasn't been seen though.
I'd hate to speculate but I think it was bheema who did it. He's been under quite a bit of pressure and I think it just boiled over.
That is pure speculation though and nothing more

I've always wondered about the details of such mortalities. Do males seek out the kill, or is it subsequent death from injuries?

I don't think they discriminate, but who knows for sure, it's interesting to think about. Sometimes fights seem less severe but maybe those are "feelers" but with two cats ready to fight seriously, anything can happen when you're armed like they are.

Sad news, but it was bound to happen sooner or later considering the number of mature males in Mukki.

I think its a bit of both. It depends on whether one individual is much more dominant in a fight or whether there is parity between the fighting males.

I still cant believe it, Rip Kingisher. according to my friends. it's not the work of Chota Munna or Bheema and currently it all points to Umarpani, whoever the tiger is. kanha forest department is alert and hopefully he gets treated. its high time Kanha rethinks their strategy and move out these tigers to some of the less crowded parks. not sure if this natural death even feels natural anymore with all the background info on the lives of tigers around Mukki. rip

I'd actually be alright if it was uma, at least that means he's still around but no body has seen him yet.

Vijayarajan Muthu

News alert (31st Oct 2016), Umarpani Male is alive :
Dear T-O-K members, we have received confirmed reports from the Forest Department of KTR that Umarpani Male is alive & doing just fine.
He has been sighted by patrolling teams & also camera trapped regularly within tourism areas too. The fact that a few parts of the tourism areas remained closed led to no sightings of him this season. We can now look forward to him making an appearance sooner rather than later. Interestingly, we've also been given to understand that he isn't carrying any injuries on him.
We sincerely thank the Forest Department of KTR for sharing such wonderful news on the occasion of Deepawali !!!


Shashikant Sayare

Kanha is one of the most beautyful picturesque National Park in our country. This forest provides planty of apportunities to photographers. Few years ago Tiger was granted seen in Kanha meadow or on tiger show elephant back but right now tiger sighting are not very common and this makes it diffrience to look good Scenery and other specieas to try his luck with the tiger. And i am the lucky person spoted this beauty and that time given me a apportunitie to take Below Eye level shot. This is one of my most memorable Tiger sightimgs.

— with Saahil Sayare and 4 others at Kanha Tiger Reserve.

A heavily pregnant Link 8 female - Kanha Meadows, 27th oct 2016.

After the shocking news of the death of two tigers in kanha within the space of a week, finally some news to smile about.

Vijayarajan Muthu Great news Ameya !!! However, kindly note, this is the Link-8 Female & not Neelam please. Attaching pics for ready reference. The inverted Mitsubishi logo kind of marking on Link-8 female's right hind leg is unmistakable.
