Its an amazing amazing place. in 8 safaris, spotted 3 males, 3 females and 3 cub tigers. and off course other cats like leopards. Will post photos in respective threads. To start, here is the King waghdoh on 3 march afternoon safari at Tadoba junona buffer. Near aategaon protection hut , waterhole 175. He is divine. He was sitting in front of us for 30 odd minutes.
And Till today I don’t have clear photos the large old male which we spotted at kuipat area near tadoba lake. I will soon post those when I have. I think that’s yeda anna most probably. But a possibility of old hilltop male too. Because its his old area. I am also baffled how yeda anna can reach here. He is supposed to be in palasgaon, khutavanda gate area. how can he cross thru kosekonar, jaminbodi, hilltop to reach Tadoba lake. also really cant understand how can maya leave her cubs alone in the area frequented by so many male tigers; especially when no one is sure who has sired her cubs ( gabbar or Saturn or katezari). Now this area has atelast 6 males around; new navegaon male mating with Choti tara, pandu maya brother, matkasur male, Saturn, katezari sometimes, this unknown old male. Atleast 6 males in the area. I really love Tadoba; for its unpredictability its so amazing. Unbelievable
Friends,
further to my message 2 weeks back on that unknown male we spotted at Kuipat near tadoba lake on 5 march evening safari. Now I have clear photo of that male courtesy my co-tourist in other Gypsie; Neeraj Bantia. Thanks to him. Posting it here on his behalf. And this indeed is yeda anna. Tigers are such mysterious creatures. Yeda anna is now around 12 yrs old and was spotted after a long time. He was last seen in Palasgaon area. we were very very lucky. Its astonishing that he travelled all the way thru kosekonar, hill top area to appear near tadoba lake. His travel path would have taken him thru areas of other young male tigers like; Saturn, Gabbar, pandu, matkasur male and old hilltop male. Amazing !
