The innocent-faced Tiger :
This young Male we call Bhola, was from the 2012 litter of Badi Mada (2012 litter sired by Thin Stripe Male). While he spent the initial part of his childhood with his sibling at Minkur, his sightings were few & far between 2014. It was the period when Choti Mada was sighted frequently at the Baba Thenga Talao along with 4 cubs.
However, upon closer examination of the Baba Thenga litter, we were pleasantly surprised to note that a female cub of the Baba Thenga litter (Dhawajhandi’s sister) was apparently missing while Bhola had taken her place in the family! Choti Mada raising her little half-brother along with her own cubs was indeed a revelation in the annals of social interaction between Tigers.
Although Bhola hasn’t been sighted in tourism areas from End-2015 onwards, we can only hope he stepped into adulthood & is alive somewhere out there.
Thanks Vijayarajan bhai

Meet MP-KTR-T 67 we call Dhamangaon Male (for reference purposes), arguably a new entrant to tourism areas. This young lad is widely believed to be the son of Karai Ghati Male (T-2) & Karai Ghati Female (Budbudi's sister).

While he has been camera-trapped by the Forest Department quite frequently in the past, it is only in the last few weeks that he has been sighted by tourists on a few occasions.

T-67 Male, 19th December 2016, Kisli Zone, KTR.
