According to author

Quote:Dollar male for RTR. The most surprising element of Dollar is that he is also being protecting and accompanying the female cubs as potential mates. T25 the male tiger is also famous as the dollar because of presence of dollar shape on his right flank stripe, this tiger does not like human presence at all and found chasing the vehicles coming into the reserve, and present himself as a king in front of the visitors.
Being a arrogant male tiger T25 amazed everyone last year by taking care of two orphaned female cubs who were orphaned last February 2011 when their mother T-5 died due to intestinal illness,T25 not only protected these cubs but also played their mother roles later these female cubs has given names as Bina-1 and Bina-2 and were shifted to Sariska.
