Sorry, I wrote the 1st sentence, before reading the news (you can see the next sentences in my post are saying that he found the female there which is living in Gujarat which is not from Ratapani or else where). After reading, I acknowledged that, the tigress is one of the secretive tigers which is already living in forests of Gujarat for years without direct official confirmation. I know they don't elope coz tigresses don't travel with his mates when they have own territories established and when she's with cubs its even rarer to leave her territory coz cubs will be in danger when traveling and cubs won't enough be strong to migrate large distances. Probably Ratapani Tiger came for that tigress in lion state.

Edit: First sentence of last post removed.

I didn't find anything rumor'y' though. In fact they did a good thing. Reply
