Tigers of Central India

[Ashutosh]

Nauradehi Wildlife Sanctuary located in Madhya Pradesh hadn’t been home to tigers for nearly a decade. It is a vital 1200sq.km area of forest as it has connectivity to Panna through a wildlife corridor which a tiger traversed in 2014.

Nullah wali baaghin was the sister of the famous Collarwali from Pench. She gave birth to 11 cubs and died prematurely (suspected poisoning). One of her 3 month old cubs was taken to Kanha and was raised in an enclosure for the next 2 and a half years.

So, this captive raised tiger was translocated to Nauradehi and has given birth to 3 cubs (her code name being N1) sired probably by Kishan (N2) a tiger from Bandhavgarh who was also brought to Nauradehi. There is also a rumour that another male has come to Nauradehi most probably from Panna and therefore this tigress has been keeping her cubs tucked away as they were born in July.
