There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

----Let's talk about T58----
The famous T58/ Rocky of RTR was once the most dominent male of Ranthombore, ruling parts of zone 6, 7, 8 and 10 of RTR. Here he is during mid 2021
Back in 2019, T58 triumphed over his brother T57 when fighting over Noor, and occupied a considerable amt of area after that :
and quickly seiged zone 10 where it was previously T42/Fateh's, after his dissapearance in late 2019,
and ousted T34/ Kumbha from his territory when his health deteriorates from old age in mid 2020.
But he is getting old, and has since left zone 6 and zone 10 , because of the younger competitor Jai (T108). Jai may also be the one who drove Fateh/ T42 away from zone 10
Jai, who is around 6.5 yr old here i believe, on 31/3. his mother is T8, aka Laadli

it is perhaps still somewhat early to say that the reign of T58 is ending, but we are getting there. Afterall, few can escape the fate of Kumbha ---either perish early or blend into the surrounding too well and eventually dissapear without a trace.
