#Kanha on 70mm, and popularly known in central India as "Road haee Road". Enjoy it full screen. Nothing special about the image, just loved the forest in the background, and the escorted Tiger in the fore.

Story of Alpha male -
There was a female in chimta camp in kisli zone who died and left three tiny cubs behind, forest department took and kept them in big enclosure in mukki where they looked after very well and raised beautifully. At the age of 2yrs., when they started making kill in enclosure forest department decided to leave them in open forest. This was the first time in kanha when a tiger was brought up in fenced area and now ready to start a new life in jungle, he was released in open forest with his sister and both were collared. After spending few days in mukki zone this male reached to the place where he was born, what instinct tigers have! Forest department had an eye on this guy and they celebrated when he made his first kill of a wild boar in open forest. But it's always hard for a tiger to get settled in area where other big males rule, he got killed in a territory fight. Hunger taught them how to make a kill but they had no mother who could teach them how to tackle or self defense, when you meet a rival.
His sister was also vanished in buffer and never sighted again, though some forest officials tried hard to track her but couldn’t succeed!
