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. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Hi Shailesh bhai, Namdev was the dominant male of the area at that time and he certainly is the father of Maya's cub. from Feb/Mar/April last year, Maya mated heavily with Namdev and i believe she concieved right before Namdev dissapeared (early june 2015) and when she gave birth to the cubs on July/2015. Namdev was nowhere to be found. Namdev jr grew up without his father's protection and a survivor against all odds. a true prodigy of his father. credit also goes to Maya for being a phenomenal mother. I think he's ready to begin his new journey on his own and Maya is ready for a new litter. 



Namdev was doing so well last year, he had accomplished a lot as a male tiger (2013 - may 2015) and i suspect that his expansion had a lot to do with his downfall, he might have faced the backlash of the younger males that came heavily banging on his door and now evidently, all the former territories of Namdev are now controlled by Katezari's two sons. what makes this interesting is the fact that both Katezari and Namdev were hefty rivals and their rivalry dates back to June/2013.

Notice the summer weight of both males, Katezari is the bigger male in the back. (june/2013)

both going seperate ways after the fight, even though the fight was very minor.

Namdev in late 2013, despite being at his weakest. you could tell he's a large framed tiger with a very long body.

a very powerful Namdev (September/2014) not even at his full potential, his winter turn-over was amazing leading into 2015.

february/2015 - reached new heights and all year long, even in the summer. he maintained a very heavy physique.

the mating with Maya (February/2015) ) - I guarantee you, this is the heaviest and the most powerful looking Namdev at his peak.

May/2015 weight, summer weight of Namdev.

Katezari and Namdev May/2015, max potential weight of both males.

May/2015 


any angle you look at it, Matkasur and Kankajhari both laid hands on Namdev and took out Namdev at his peak. V7 better be ready for Kankajhari, if he gets intercepted. it will be disastrous.
