The Grief of a Tigress.
I had seen her in April 2015 with her two sub adult cubs which were 15 months old then. Her partner, Masthigudi Male/Backwater Male/Euco was the dominant tiger and had fathered her two cubs. The male tiger was killed in Mysterious Circumstances in August 2015. The FD short of saying it committed Suicide gave various versions for its death.
Being mating season, this tigress is now without a mate. There is no male tiger in the territory which was occupied by her mate. Her growling made it clear that she requires a partner. She searches for her mate who is no more.
Like humans, animals also miss their mating partners. Felt very sad about what had transpired.
Kabini, November 2015.

The big bad boy of ranthambore decided to put up a show for us for 3hrs. Spent some amazing time with him watching his behavior and feeding on a carcass.
