There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. 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.

Chanda to Betul, Maharashtra to MP: Tiger's 350 km journey longest in country.

The tiger from Chandrapur Super Thermal Power Station that migrated to neighbouring MP only to end up in Satpura Power Station in Sarni, got his freedom this month.

The 2.5-year-old tiger was released into the wild in Bori Wildlife Sanctuary (518sqkm) part of the Satpura Tiger Reserve (1,500 sqkm core and 700 sqkm buffer), that he so narrowly missed after such a record-breaking journey. The area is a good habitat, as all villages here have been relocated. Grasslands have added to a good prey base too.

Due to the bad habit caused by his "upbringing" he had to be retrained to life in the wild & was shifted to a specialised 6hc. enclosure at Kanha (that had raised other orphan tigers) after 10 days of cat'nmouse...
Considering its history (killed two people), it was to be released in Van Vihar, Bhopal, for display but forest officials gave a second thought because he was young & carried Maharastra genes.

“We released live chitals into the enclosure and, during the 50-odd days, the tiger killed over 7. After a go-ahead from experts, it was radio-collared and released on 1st February", said SK Singh, field director of Satpura. 

So far so good.

Disappointing event as the Maharashtra tiger that travelled 500kms to MP, strayed out of Satpura Tiger Reserve again & was captured for the second time from the exact same spot near Betul town, after 6hour operation. 
The Satpura Reserve is spread over 2,100 sqkm, 71% of which of which is core area. There are around 40 tigers in STR.

Officials concluded this tiger may love to travel, but he’s a lazy hunter who went back for cattle despite the area having more than sufficient wild prey. 





This time the 2.5-year-old male weighting 178kg is may be shifted to Van Vihar Safari Park for life, or to Kanha's training enclosure for a longer time. Conflicting reports...
