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.

Lets talk about Ridhhi!
Ridhhi is borned in early 2019, who is the daughter of arrowhead and T86/ Chirico's. She is also the fifth generation of the famous Machali, aka the croc killer.
Ridhhi roams the zone 3 and 4 of RTR
She and her younger sister --siddhi/ T125, always had territorial disputes. The FD even considered shifting Ridhhi to Sariska reserve due to her frequent clash with her younger sister:
Back when Ridhhi and Siddhi were still cubs and were playfighting under arrowhead's care:
Tension rose up as the sisters matures and start to fight for territory: Siddhi expresses her displeasure when she was cornered on the banks of Raj Bagh in zone 3 of RTR by Ridhhi in june 2020:
Riddhi triumphed and ruled Raj Bagh at July 2020...These eyes say it all!
In Nov 5th 2020, they fought over a chital deer kill, in which Siddhi is the victor
And the clash with her mother on late Dec in Raj Bagh at zone 3
The famous fight between the sisters over zone 3 territory in 19th Jan 2021, it is said that ridhhi is bigger than both arrowhead and siddhi:
And another dispute in April 2021 when ridhhi is seen here chasing siddhi at Malik Talab for a good 15 minites before another fight broke out. Before this, Ridhhi was chasing away her mother arrowhead from Raj Bagh area:
Ridhhi stares at her mom arrowhead at side of the lake in mid 2021, ready to challenge the "queen of the lake". The former "queen of the lake" eventually left the lake to her daughter, who have been guarding it ever since:
Maybe the sisters really have some personal vendetta with each other, but i feel that this reflects the tight space and high tiger density of the reserves in general. Unfortunately this isn't sth that can be changed in a matter of days
