There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. 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.

Extremely bad news!
Star of Ranthambore is no more...
*This image is copyright of its original author
He died on yesterday noon due to age related complexities coupled with possible tranquilizer overdose!
T-28, the once largest male of Ranthambore, was 13-years-old & got pushed out by T-91 Mirza a year & half ago.
He ended up in an agriculture field of Chaan village on the periphery of Ranthambore. A forest dept. team was sent there and he was found still near the fencing of the field, and was surrounded by villagers.
Probably due to him being famous for his size, they overestimated his weight & by the time he was brought back, he died at about 1:00pm.
The post-mortem report revealed that the tiger was also suffering from gastric torsion in cardia (upper region).
