RE: Tiger Predation - Apollo - 07-28-2014
Machali (T16) was said to be a large tigress.
Here are the pics showing her real height next to a vehicle.
*This image is copyright of its original author
This was taken from the video where she hunts a sambar.
RE: Tiger Predation - Pckts - 07-28-2014
I cant get a clear look of her size compared to the jeep. The still images are a tough angle to judge.
Cool video though. I've seen a few tigers start to use the jeeps as cover, now.

Machali fights T6
Those who know Ranthambhore also know its famous lady - Machali (II). Machali has been the grandmother of Ranthambhore now and is still fighting. We all have heard of her fighting the crocodiles (when she reined the lakes), her told and untold countless fights with other tigers and her stories of grace, dominance and richness (Machali has earned about US $ 10 million per annum for the last 10 years for Ranthambhore's economy) she has been indeed a legend and an asset to Ranthambhore and its people.
On 14th June we were fortunate to see the ageless lady again fighting for her food. And yes she is not scared she means business.
Our first sighting was of T-6 but it was at a distance ... at laambi ka nallah first pic below
*This image is copyright of its original author
T-6 at the laambi ka nalla he sat in the waters, (which is the area currently occupied by Machali) for a long time sniffing the air as if searching for something. We didnt know...
Soon we got to know that Machali is sleeping with the sambar kill on the top plateau. It was about 6 PM yet hot summer was like a furnace! Machali was sleeping about 40 feet from the kill, the sambar looked huge. She must have consumed about 10% of it, she must have been waiting for weather to get cooler before she would eat also, due to the loss of canines she must be waiting for the meat to decompose which would be easier to chew.

Machali and the sambar kill
*This image is copyright of its original author
Within 10 minutes of us coming up came the male T-6 sniffing the kill he must have walked more than a kilometer distance.
*This image is copyright of its original author
Machali went alert even before most of us and we could easily see her apprehension and her gauging the situation.

The young male walking towards the kill

As soon as the male came closer Machali steped back and sat at some 50 feet distance

The male started to eat the kill
*This image is copyright of its original author
*This image is copyright of its original author
In a moment he left the kill and rushed towards Machali
*This image is copyright of its original author
Machali stood on two feet, claws open and pounced on T-6 before he could attack

We see Machali facing the camera

T-6 soon got the control

One last warning, with a big roar T6 pulls back

T-6 back at Machali's kill - stealing the steal

If you are talking about the "Tiger Queen" documentary, then its the Star male in that doc and not T6.
RE: Tiger Predation - Pckts - 07-31-2014
doesn't it look exactly the same. From the kill site to the approach and even the fight. He throws her to the ground in the same direction then lets her leave and goes back to the kill.

Im not sure which video you are talking about.
Can you post it.
So we can have a look.
RE: Tiger Predation - sanjay - 07-31-2014
As far i also remember, I have also seen this in some documentary either on discovery network (animal planet) or on nat geo. I searched the video but not found.
RE: Tiger Predation - Pckts - 07-31-2014
Ill look around, give me a few minutes.
