The two males are huge with Bahadur outsizing Santram. Whereas the boldest cub of the lot is Mohini. Her other sister was also given a name (I have forgotten). These two daughters have separated from their mother. While Mohini has taken up residence in the Kanha zone, I haven’t seen the sister as of yet.

Sunaina has only come onto the radar of tourists since last year. Her name kind of gives it away that she is Naina’s daughter. @Pckts says that Naina littered in 2018, I am certain I have seen pictures of Bajrang and Naina mating from 2017 and that timeline fits better. Very likely that they mated in late 2017 and littered in 2018. Sunaina most likely left her mother as soon as the cubs were attacked (even though it was premature) or that male tiger let the young tigress live as his competition were the young male cubs.

This exact scenario is also playing out in Tadoba currently. Maya’s litter of 4 has been reduced to 1 male cub and even he had to leave Maya prematurely to survive. I have asked around but I don’t know the intruding male.

i actually thought one of them went missing remember seeing four small cubs now as subs i usually see mohini and the boys.this must be her here..looks like a mix of naina and bajrang, she looks more like bajrang than the others
