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.

Narasimha sighted near pandherpauni, deep in Maya and Matkasur's territory. I wonder how long until a fight breaks out, Matkasur is in his prime and will not tolerate his presence specially with the cubs around. I hope Narasimha stays safe and finds a territory of his own. he's a large male and past his peak prime age. April/2018

Matkasur near Navegaon gate, last month when he fought with a mother sloth bear over a waterhole. he was slightly injured and as a result, he temporarily stopped patrolling large distances to regain full strength. in his absence, Bajrang visited Jamni Lake and mated with Choti Tara. on the other side Narasimha started entering Pandherpauni and threatened the lives of the new cubs with Maya. now that he's more active again and back at full strength, he continues to scent mark all corners of his large territory. Bajrang hasnt returned and chances are, he got the message. Narasimha seems to be only active around Pandherpauni when Matkasur crosses over to visit his two sub adult cubs and Choti Tara. Its only a matter of time now before a big show down between Matkasur and Narasimha unfolds and that could be very dangerous for Narasimha, he has just lost every bit of his territory to Kali (son of Namdev/Saturn). In his prime, Narasimha ruled all areas of Navegaon gate, Navegaon buffer/Alijanja buffer. he was also occassionally seen in Pandherpauni, Ambepath waterhole on Kala Amba road, Tadoba lake and was a very dominant male but the odds are against him now. he's old and past his prime age. lets hope for the best.
