Tiger Trackers13 hours agoHey All,

Here is a brief summary of Tiger families of Ranthambhore this season.

Tigress Krishna (T-19) : She has been the star attraction of the park and is being sighted every other day along with her 3 chubby & playful (7 month old) cubs. The young ones are growing in size by the day and Momma dear will have to keep hunting frequently to feed them. While her beau, Star Male (T-28) has paid an occasional visit, Krishna remains wary of her son from the previous litter Aakash (T-64), who seems to be lurking around in search of a free meal. A showdown looks imminent in the near future.

Tigress Machli (T-16) : She seems to have shifted base to an area adjoining the periphery of the park which are devoid of motorable tracks. The forest guard in-charge of monitoring her is on the job every single day. Apparently, it seems that she is being fed bait by the authorities. Ever since she departed from her territory, Tigress T-73, the daughter of late Sundari, seems to have taken over Machli’s area.

Tigress Noor (T-39) : She has been sighted with her 2 cubs (6 months old) infrequently but remains as contended as ever, in her territory. While her beau Ustad (T-24) seems to lurk around her vicinity, Sultan (T-72), her son from the previous litter, is being sighted in her territory more often than not.

Tigress Ladli (T-8) : Surprisingly, the shy & elusive Ladli (sister of Romeo) has been sighted quite frequently (but not photographed) in the last fortnight, along with her 2 cubs. While her beau Kumbha (T-34) does pay her occasional visits, she remains wary of vehicles and seems to be raising her family very well indeed.

Sundari’s Male cubs (T-74 & T-75) : The brothers seem to be sticking together in the same area & it remains to be seen as to how long do the 2 males survive together. It is highly likely that the weaker one might perhaps move out in search of territory & mate in the near future while the dominant one stays put.

Stay tuned for more updates !
