Shishir Kumar Jain:
Last Experience with T-24 USTAD

Lucky enough to witness T-24 on 15 May 2015 morning safari. Clicked him in the nala adjacent to the zone 4 entry gate, towards the left. He started walking towards singh dwar and turned towards the mandir on the main road marking his territory a number of times. He seemed very calm and relaxed strolling in his domain unaware of the fact that it would be his last walk in his abode. T-24 was looking as graceful as a maharaja walking in his kingdom. He looked majestic when he raised his head adjacent to a tree as if smelling the air around. On the way, twice he sat on the road blocking the whole traffic before disappearing into the forest towards Jogimahal. It was a good 35 minutes session. In T-24 absence, we hope his cubs from T-39 Noor will be taken good care of and must be protected from who so ever takes over. At that time, I couldn’t have imagined that it would be his last walk in the free jungle as the very next day he was taken away. I shall miss the roar of T-24 for such a beautiful tiger he is, but his roar is going to echo for a long time to come in the jungle of Ranthambore.
