Drama in the meadows :
An intriguing drama unfolded right in front of us one fine evening when this Tigress strolled around the grasslands, roaring away in all her glory & literally driving away the huge herds of Chital & Barasingha, rather than going for a kill.
No wonder Neelam, the resident Tigress wisely decided not to challenge this female and ran for cover instead. Sauntering straight towards us, plonking herself right beside our Gypsy, looking right into our eyes & making us fall head over heels in love with her at first sight, turned out to be the icing on the cake. The Gorgeous Princess had arrived & how.

Turmoil in Mukki :

The recent death of Kingfisher Male of Kanha, in a territorial fight could well be a harbinger of things to come. Tragic incidents of this magnitude might perhaps be a recurring affair in the near future. With 3 males in the fray now, the battle lines are drawn, a keen tussle for supremacy is on hand & turf wars in Mukki seem to have only just begun. Meanwhile, the bloke pictured here seems to be contemplating his next move.
