We can continue to talk about kzt053. He is a huge tiger. What caused his head injury. I once saw a photographer on Facebook who said his tiger was shot in the head by a hunter(Now I can't find the author)。The photographer once said that he might die, but he survived tenaciously. However, after 2015, he disappeared, Kaziranga was relatively closed, and it was normal to have no news. However, there is no figure of this tiger in the numbered atlas in 2018, and he may die in the period from 2015 to 2017.
Another saying is that this tiger was injured by fighting with another male tiger,Who is more likely. The photographer who took the above picture also released the photo of tiger in the same area and almost at the same time as kzt053.

But when I look closely, it looks like a female tiger. Female tiger is the source of male tiger fighting。
In this way, the most suspected male tiger fighting with kzt053 is the one eyed male,They are all in Agoratoli area in the east of Kaziranga。One eyed male were also blind in 2015-2016

This should be an extremely bitter battle. One side was torn off the scalp and the other was bitten through the eyes。The winner of this battle should be the one eyed male, who will live until 2021。
