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.

Shivaji and Bunty have no relation, i believe Gangaram and Shivanzari had a litter early 2013 and he was one of the cubs from that litter! hence why Gangaram tolerated a young Bunty in his territory, Matkasur had a similar childhood under his father Namdev's territory around Kolara.

Meet P212, the male tiger from Panna who was presumably unheard of in Kanha. Please do take a moment to read this.
He was born in 2010 to the Indri Tigress who was trans-located to Panna in 2009 & believed to have been sired by T-3, the Male brought in from Pench. As a strapping young radio-collared lad, P 212 left the park in 2014 and headed towards Bandhavgarh, traversing through human settlements in a journey which perhaps created history by retracing a lost corridor between the two parks. The Panna authorities monitored him closely during this period and needless to mention, the radio-collar turned out to be of immense value.
Within a month of his departure from Panna, a decision was taken to shift P212 to the lesser known Sanjay Dubri Tiger Reserve. No sooner did he arrive at SDTR, P212 courted with two resident females and sired litters of 4 and 5 cubs respectively by late 2014. All was hunky dory until another Male (SD005) crossed his path. As is the norm, the rival Male began wandering into P212’s territory which resulted in brutal fights for supremacy. After a series of battles, P212 was left badly injured & had lost all his canines. But the true fighter that he was, the SDTR authorities decided not to tranquilize him for medical aid as he seemed to recover naturally, albeit with a limp.
However, in a remarkable turn of events during the summers of 2015, SD005 male appeared to have plotted a move to eliminate the cubs sired by P212 and the females ran for cover. It was believed that P212 ushered the female & cubs to safety in a ravine and went back to fight it out with the intruder, a broken leg & loss of canines didn’t seem to deter him. At the end of the final brutal battle which lasted a few days, P212 eventually succumbed to injuries and died a heroic death. While most (injured) males flee the scene during such hostile takeover bids, P212 chose to stay put and go down fighting. He may have lost his life but ended up saving his offspring and thereby leaving a huge legacy behind.
He was given a grand funeral and the forest personnel remember him fondly as a legend of SDTR. Although not much is known of the rival male who must have wandered off to other parts of the park which had 2 other resident females, the mates of P212 and his 9 cubs are believed to be still ruling SDTR.
I’ve shared the true story of P212 (as per info obtained from the authorities & sources of SDTR) at our forum since he was a direct descendant of our very own Indri / Pattewala / Limping Male / Heartshape female. Kanha’s genes are not only alive & kicking in Panna but also in Sanjay Dubri Tiger Reserve now. Info as well as photos courtesy : SDTR.

'You will never know the power of yourself until someone hurts you badly
.
Just as Bheema, the 2nd of the Pandavas, is synonymous with raw power in the Hindu epic Mahabharatha, our very own Bheema is no less when it comes to fierce battles.
Bheema was born to Chimta female (Budbudi) in a litter of 4 sired by Kankata, the dominant male of Kisli at that time. While his siblings Bajrang & Banno seem to have territories of their own, the whereabouts of his other sister is unknown. As a young male speculated to move out of the park in search of new territory, he was radio-collared too.
However, he not only remained within the park but also fought with Chota Munna the new challenger. The authorities were in a quandry since his collar seemed to have fallen off & he wasn’t sighted for a couple of months giving rise to further speculation. He appeared out of the blue at Baba Thenga, with a few scars on him only to fight with CM and retreat again. While CM apparently took advantage of Bheema’s absence and mated with Dhawajhandi female as well as District Line female, Bheema not only came back with a bang last season and mated with females but also fought with CM who ran for cover. Having successfully warded off the threat posed by CM, Bheema began forays into territories belonging to Umarapani Male for mating rights with Choti Mada.
Needless to mention, Bheema only grew in confidence towards the end of last season and forays into Duke road, Lapsi kabar & Minkur anicut (which weren’t a part of his territory) speaks volumes of his power & resilience.
Look forward to Bheema asserting his dominance this season!

This beautiful animal is also Mount' of goddess Durga. partnership between the deity and his vahana is woven much iconography and mythology. Deities are often depicted riding (or simply mounted upon) the vahana. Other times, the vahana is depicted at the deity's side or symbolically represented as a divine attribute.

After a long wait, on our first park drive of the season did not disappoint us. Green jungle welcomed us with lots of exciting things. Saw many birds and many animals in the green back ground. It was refreshing for us. Ofcourse, we had a great sighting of young Male Tiger, Chota Munna near Baba tenga water hole. He was on the road lying down. He got spooked by something and started running towards us. Later we realized that there was another big Male Tiger, Bheema near the water hole. He walked very fast on the road, so we reversed the vehicle very quickly allowing him to have a safe distance from us. Almost we spent an hour with this Show stopper. #kanhanationalpark #showstopper #flameoftheforest #safarilodge #tigersofkanha #newseason #newhopes #naturalist #ilovemyjob
