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.
Back in 2008, when i started blogging about Bandhavgarh tigers. there were only four males present that we would ocassionally hear about Bokha, B2, Bamera and Panpatha. 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.
