Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
A territorial fight was averted when MV 2, surrendered to the almighty Umarpani male today morning in Kanha. MV 2 a sub-adult, and no match for Umarpani was intelligent to give in and sit when Umarpani approached. There are some signs that Tigers show when they submit and this was one. At times they also lie down on their back to save themselves. It is a sign of surrender and self security as well. Umarpani is also smart not to unnecessarily waste his energy on a Tiger which is no competition to him yet and not for another couple of years atleast. The size of Umarpani male in peak heat needs no certification to the fact that he is in a league of his own.
The world of Tigers is very exciting for the viewers but for Tigers it is full of hardship. Video by Sanjay Thakre.
