Tiger kills tigress in Madhya Pradesh’s Kanha reserve

Forest officials recovered half eaten carcass of a tigress from Kisli range of Madhya Pradesh’s Kanha Tiger reserve on Saturday evening. (HT file photo for representational purpose only )
A tigress has been killed ostensibly by a tiger in Madhya Pradesh’s Kanha Tiger reserve, marking the second big cat death within 12 hours in the state which has a high feline mortality rate.

Deputy director of the tiger reserve KS Bhadoriya said the half eaten carcass of the tigress named Budbudi ( T-83) was found on Saturday evening in Kisli range.

After seeing the injury marks and as the carcass was found in the area dominated by a male tiger named Sangam (T-56), forest officials suspect him as the killer.

Sangam either attacked the victim to reaffirm his dominance over the area or because his advances were spurned by Budbudi, officials suspect. They said such killing is not uncommon.
Vijayarajan Muthu, tiger enthusiast and one of the key members in Tigers of Kanha group on Facebook posted, “Budbudi female, the Grand matriarch of Kisli is no more !...Initial reports strongly suggest she was apparently killed and also partially eaten by Sangam Male T-56..”
Meanwhile, badly decomposed carcass of another tiger was found on Saturday in Keolari range of south Seoni, with its paws missing, making it a suspected case of poaching.

Seoni South district forest officer (DFO) PS Sulya confirming the recovery said investigation was on to ascertain the cause of the death.

Last year MP recorded over one-fourth of the total tiger deaths in the country. According to National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) data of the 98 tiger deaths reported in the country in 2017, 26 were from MP.
Already three tiger deaths have been reported from the state this year.

Looks like a female from northern India. mostly terai region. That is if this is a legit photo. Hope others can share their views.

I agree, it is mostly from Corbett or may be some other parts of terai like rajaji, philibit etc.

My friend, you obviously don't have very high opinion about Corbett tigers...
And how looks like a typical Corbett's tiger skull? Joking

If that guy in the photo appears on official advertisement of CTR perhaps a lot of tourists will cancel their safaris there....

It has nothing to do with height of opinion. 
That look is commonest in Corbett tigers, with a angled forehead being one of the key features. Even Khali had that...

I mean, it's just my personal quackery, but works for me. I've had a fairly decent success rate in identifying tigers.

Let's wait for @paul cooper's reply & see if it worked this time.


RE: Tiger Directory - Roflcopters - 02-04-2018

Good guess @Rishi, she is indeed a Corbett tigress. I cross checked Parwali and Sharmili. its not those two but it is definitely a female from Corbett.


RE: Tiger Directory - Roflcopters - 02-04-2018

this makes me wonder if we should do a weekly quiz to see if people can recognize tigers from different parts of India?

okay so I'll start, you don't have to get the tiger name right (bonus if you can) and if you can identify which park the tiger belongs to. that would be enough. first one to get it right wins.

Count me in...

Also, almost invariably of western Terai (Rajaji to Ramnagar) tigers tend to have perfectly round cheek. Like this:

Actually i can't remember any exceptions!
