Tigers of Central India

[Roflcopters]

@Pckts 

I get what you’re saying Pckts, it’s very unlikely and a bit unusual indeed but judging purely from his appearance alone. I am convinced, he has Tadoba blood somewhere in him. they all have this generic look to them, the very typical “TAT” on their foreheads that i have observed in almost every specimen. just different variations. If every park kept proper tabs on all the tigers that go missing, i’m sure they would find a few outside in different parks just systematically positioning themselves to survive. how many tigers are readily tracked on daily basis? very few and finding atleast 8-10 cases of tigers travelling high distances of up to 250+km just in the last odd 6-10 years is a high number. journeys of 60km-100km are more common now, interestingly i now firmly believe that tigers are probably. capable of travelling even further. just need more scientific research. Are tigers capable of avoiding human-conflict while navigating through large distances? can they calculate their meal plans and the routes instinctively? the odds are unlikely but if journeys of 60,80,100,160,200 and 250km are possible than i have no reason to believe that a journey of 400km is not within the reach. same tiger that was able to use lost corridors to reach 250km could probably do a much larger distance In the same direction or cut through different routes. there is recorded evidence of two Tadoba born male tigers outside of Tadoba living comfortably in New Nagzira and Brahmapuri at the moment. (both dominant males) Tadoba to Nagzira is about 140km, Tadoba to Brahmapuri is roughly 80-100km. a radio collared tigress from Kanha travelled all the way down to Pench, MH in the span of four months covering 250km stretch back in 2008. a sub adult kanha male last year made the same journey covering 250km+ to reach Pench, Mh. Pannalal did a 150km journey, Jai did about 130km, P213 tigress of Panna did a 125km jouney to reach Northern India. the exact words of the Chief conservator of forest that tracked the young kanha male’s movements.

Quote:
“He is a very intelligent tiger and after the January incident, he has stayed well away from humans, quietly feeding and growing in the area,” Annigeri said.
He moved from Nagda hills to Manglia in Indore and then to Badnagar in Ujjain to Javasia village Badnawar in Dhar, across Sardarpur and into Petlawad in Jhabua. Officials said all these places have human habitation but he has managed to avoid any contact with humans.
“He has been travelling in a straight line along the banks on the Mahi river,” Annigeri said.
