Its soo funny you would say that, because I have always been a tiger fan but the more I learn of both the more I have come to love both equally. I will say there is something special about a male tiger, especially one as beautifully built as Bamera but I think if we weren't so spoiled with male lions it would be a different story. I love them both, powerful in their own ways and intimidating as it gets.

You can actually watch the video of this interaction as well.
I will say that the cubs and noor still seem uneasy with each other, you can see submissive behavior from the cubs towards noor and once T57 stands up for a bit, all eyes are on him.
Time will tell if this peace will last, but it almost seemed like noor was communicating with them that it may be time to leave the nest. 
I hope it all works out, they are as large as their mother at this point so it wouldn't be a death sentence if they left the nest.

I think the fact that she bred with him makes it easier for him to accept the cubs, as long as they submit to him, give way during feeding and not try to "play" with him like they would their father, it could work out.

Which tiger was it that forced Bamera out? 

Yeah I saw The picture of B2 yesterday and thought wow long time no see aswell thought it could bring back some great memories for other big cat lovers aswell! 

On a side note how's Wagdoh doing?

Out of the 4 males.  B2, Bokha and Bamera rocked the sightings everywhere, then a few years later. Mukunda and Blue eyes held it down equally and this was the beginning of a new chapter. Jobhi also came in the picture and terrorized Bamera, along with every tiger he cane in contact with. Jobhi was unbeatable for well over 2 years. ofcourse. Who wouldnt want a chunk of Bamera's territory after Jobhi snatched a significant amount. Rahasy and the Mahaman boy started pressuring Bamera as well. Bamera striked back and managed to drive Rahasy out of his domain in the monsoons of 2013. Mahaman boy also disappeared within this time. Nobody knows what happened to them and after a little while. Bamera's two sub adult male cubs that were reaching adulthood started pushing him off bounds and with the combined effort of both. Bamera had no option but to leave. Now however, Bandhavgarh landscape is alot different and there is presence of atleast 11 males within the tourism zone. Out of the 11 adult males, only about 5 are residents and the rest are just power hungry and willing to get their hands dirty if they need to. Honestly, as a male tiger. Bamera alone faced far more challenges than Wagdoh, B2, Bokha, Munna and even Raja. Hes now almost 12 and he is still a warrior. Big and powerful as always but just not in his prime anymore.
