Rajasthan forest department identifies two Ranthambore tigresses for Mukundara Hills.

One among the two tigresses identified for relocation, T-99, is the daughter of the famous Gudda tigress or T-60. Gudda is a range of Ranthambore that falls under Zone 2.

T-99 was among the three cubs born to T-60 nearly three years ago. The other two cubs were male. Mohan Singh, a forest guard at the Ranthambore tiger reserve, told Firstpost that the other two cubs didn’t let T-99 eat the prey killed by their mother.

So, the baby girl T-99 left her mother at an early age and made Zone 10 of Ranthambore her new home, which was already a territory of T-79 and T-13, two bigger cats.
One of the reasons for the forest department to move T-99 to the Mukundra reserve is the territorial fight that could have erupted between T-99 and the other two tigers who were already comfortably settled in that zone.

The other tigress to be shifted to Mukundra, T-102, is the granddaughter of the famous Sundari or T-17 Tigress of Ranthambore. Presently, she is living in Bakola range that is, Zone 5 of Ranthambore. Both the tigresses are young and healthy.

To accompany the two females, T-99 and T-102, a male tiger T-91 was also relocated to Mukundra tiger reserve in April this year. He was radio-collared before being released into the Darrah range of Mukundra tiger reserve.
Singh, who helped in the relocation process, stayed in Mukundara with T-91 for 17 days to ensure that he is comfortable in his new home. The forest guard said, "It was not very difficult for T-91 to accept his new home as Mukundra and Ranthambore have a very similar terrain."

Mukundara has a CTR (Critical Tiger Habitat) area of 700 square kilometres -- some 100 square kilometres more than Ranthambore.
