B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India

[Tshokwane]

From Tiger Trackers:
It’s been a while since our last posting but we hopefully make up for it by sharing some interesting news even if it happens to be a terrible one.

While Ustad (T-24) languishes in captivity, courtesy the Forest department of RTR’s covert yet swift operation with remarkable precision, the successor-in-waiting as widely anticipated, could perhaps turn out to be the young Male, T-57. He was sighted resting peacefully at the Guptaji Anicut located in the Kalapani area of Kundal (Zone-6, which remains open for tourism throughout the year) on 24th of September 2015. Needless to mention, this area belonged to Ustad (T-24) during whose reign, even his long-time adversary Kumbha (T-34) didn’t dare tread into this area.

Apparently Tigress Noor (T-39) seems to be doing her best to avoid confrontation with T-57 by staying away from this area altogether while her 2 male cubs remain wary of the intruder. It is highly likely that Noor might either engage in courtship with him to lure him away from the cubs or take on the intruder in a brutal fight. Meanwhile, a confrontation between T-57 and the cubs could perhaps prove to be fatal for the latter. We hope the cubs do not end up paying a huge price for the man-made disaster though. 

Male T-57, Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve, September 2015.
