Tigers of Central India

[Ashutosh]

Update from post #1468

Radha(N1), daughter of Nallawala Baaghin of Pench from her last litter grew up in an enclosure in Kanha since she was 8 months old after her mother and siblings were poisoned. Her partner, Kishan(N2) was relocated from Bandhavgarh. The first litter didn’t survive probably owing to the inexperience of the mother and how she was raised in isolation. Together with 3 cubs, the second litter are the first family in Nauradehi Sanctuary. A male tiger from Panna has also dispersed in this landscape (although I don’t have any updates on it).

There was also a call to add another tigress from Bandhavgarh to boost the recovery (no news on that front). But, this also marks the end of the Asiatic cheetah reintroduction programme in this landscape as Nauradehi was earmarked for this project. But, with tiger reclaiming lost habitat, it would be untenable to reintroduce cheetah here even though they would mostly occupy the dry grasslands.



This is a latest photo with cubs born in September, 2019.
