Hello Rage 2277,

i had been to tadoba numerous times and follow all these tigers and their lineage since long now.   Please recheck your facts with experts like Atul dhamankar.  Choti tara aka gauri is daughter of Laxmi tigress. Born in around 2009. her siblings were ookhan ( rambhir on TN), circuit , imli. Father was yeda anna. When waghdoh male took over the territory, he killed circuit male cub. Laxmi fled the area with cubs. All 3 cubs managed to survive. But ookhan and Imli aren't spotted in last 3 years. So this is Choti tara aka Gauri. She had her first litter in Jan 14 ( one male and one female) from Gabbar. there are various photos available on this forum of them  together with cubs. Female cub is sitara now. seen in jamni area. Male cub was killed by unknown tiger in June 15 ( supposedly Saturn/namdev). Choti tara is seen now mating probably with New navegaon male ( photo on this forum by Atul).  When I was in tadoba 0n 2,3,4,5,6 march, I have seen her at jamni lake. She looked pregnant. Latest info based on her collar is that she is vasant bandhara area, I feel that area is ideal with lot of caves, thick tress for delivering.

And pandu is neera/bhalla and Hilltop male litter . Very famous pandhepauni litter born in Feb 2011. Pandu, maya, chaya and  forth female. Pandu is very shy and didn't make his area nor he has females yet.

and matkasur male is an unknown male just came into limelight. He came from kolara buffer into core area around 6 -8 month back. I haven't spotted him but he seemed to be around 4 years male. Reply
