B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India

[Ashutosh]

@Roflcopters, the female cub of Shiva and Kuwani female has been named Shivani (an amalgamation of both their names).

And, there are other such underpasses planned including in Kaziranga along the Karbi-Anglong Highway connecting the hills to the grasslands where crossings results in quite a few deaths. There are some proposals for these to come up in Western India near Ranthambore and Mukundra. And, most likely in Rajaji landscape as well.

While these underpasses definitely have improved the roadkill situation, let us not forget that T1 aka Chorbahuli male or Mystery Male from Pench was the most frequent tiger using this underpass as his territory spanned on both sides of the road. This year he died after being hit by the car on a part of the road where this underpass didn’t exist (he was also previously filmed a couple of times on this road). These are only built intermittently. Also, they affect arboreal animals like primates more profoundly as they have to venture away from the safety of their canopy to cross over. Reply
