Tigers of Central India

[Roflcopters]

here this should help

Now the suspense is over. The T71 of Bandhavgarh is none other than P213-21. I am only posting the conclusion with photograhs. Any one requiring the detailed report may sms or mail me for the detailed report. Jai Hind. Jai Sherkhan. Jai Panna (People and Tigers)
Now a serious business of T71’s identification: 

Luckily I got the frontal, right and left flank pics of 2015 (at Panna) and 2017 (at Bandhavgargh) left flank belongs to Akhilvijay Singh, the right flank credit goes to Sandeep Dutta as the photos claim. Still I am not sure to whom the frontal view belongs to?

Based on the facial marking and stripe pattern I have identified 7 unique markings of this tiger in question and numbered them accordingly.  2015 (May and October) photographs at Panna Tiger Reserve and 2017 (June) photographs of the same individual at Bandhavgargh Tiger Reserve are depicted and these unique marking match with each other perfectly and the tiger in question. The tiger identification is  not a rocket science, it is a common sense. What all you need is to maintain a perfect photographic library of the tigers you have. If you have more resources you may maintain the genetic profile, which may be cost prohibitive and may not require for simple management of tiger population dynamics of Tiger at India as on date.
  
Thus, T71 of Bandhavgargh is here by identified as P213-21 of Panna Tiger Reserve. This male tiger is the first son (male tiger) of P213’s (T2’s third daughter (female tiger) of her first litter) second litter. His Birth date is 5.12.2014 as per the monitoring records maintained by MPFD and FD, Panna TR. 
 
4. Conclusion:  Anant (No Beginning no End) Bahubali 1 and Bahubali 2 of Panna:

Now comes the question of Bahubali The Begining and Bahubali 2.  Bahubali: The Beginning  (Movie) appeared on World Motion Picture arena in 2015 and P212 started  migrating to find other tiger source population in Feb 2015 and finally could not reach either Bandhavgarh or Sanjay TRs on its own due to various anthropogenic issues. Then He was helped by Panna, Bandhvgarh and Sanjay Tiger Resrve Teams to him to reach Sanjay TR, where he fathered a litter with a resident tiger and later died. At that time I named P212 as Bahubali of Panna.  (Shall we call him Amarendra Bahubali.) Now this P213-21 steered through all the hurdles  without anyone’s aide and reached Bandhavgarh and hope he will fight it out with Ballaladev’s of Bandhavgarh and I here with name him                  Bahubali 2. And I name him Amarendra Bahubali.... Bhali Bhali Bahli Bhali raa Bhali Saho re Bahubali...Jaya Haarati neeke kottali , Bhuvana lanni Jai kottali, Gananale Chatram Pattali...(Insert the song from the film if you want and elevate nature loving people around including yourselves. Yes I am hearing the title song from Bahubali 2 and on cloud 9)  Panna Tigers Jindabad...Panna and Tiger People Jindabad....
