Gabbar 

Gabbar - a little over 8 year old Male tiger, is the undisputed king of Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve. But as he is growing older, he is getting tough competition from the rival males in the area. Gabbar was seriously injured in such a fight couple months back and has suffered deep cuts and bruises on the face. He has shown a speedy recovery though and has started hunting again.
He is one of couple tighers who have been radio collared and being monitored by researchers. The white gypsy belongs to these researchers, which is why they are allowed go tjhis close to the tiger.
The struggle for power is far from over for Gabbar though, as due to his advancing age, Gabbar might be pushed out of his territory by younger, stronger males. That is one of the reasons Gabbar is being continuously monitored these days.
