But I don't think either has the same amount as kaziranga or Kahna but there are a few factors in those places that contribute to that.

I'm also sure the census counts have gotten significantly more accurate since 2004, when the book was published.

Seems like a nice read though, tfs.

When the tigers of Bandhavgarh were all related to Sita they had virtually no violent fights recorded, with the arrival of dispersing foreign males this have picked up, in both there and Ranthambhore it is very difficult for foreign dispersing males to arrive to the area as there are very few tigers around these two parks, whereas that is an ongoing event in other areas like Kahna and Kaziranga, combined with constraints on space, prey, and access to breeding females we end up in tiger wars.
Interestingly it is breeding females that trigger violence among males, in Chitwan , a territorial male tolerated the presence of a transient male in his home range until one of his females became in estrus then he violently evicted the young male. Reply
