Due to his preferred terrain and striking facial markings which says “CAT” in his forehead, Munna is perhaps the most photographed and most easily recognisable tiger in the Kanha Park today. He had battled his way to dominance, which at times has led to injury.

He spends most of his time in meadows, but his territory ranges from Chattapathara to Bamni Dadar to Neelamullah to Link 9 to Kanhaghat to Naktighati. His rise to dominance was tough and included many fights particularly during 2005 and 2006 when he was consolidating his area. In one of the fights he sustained a leg injury giving him a limp, hence Langda or the limping one. This has healed almost completely now and he is now in complete control of his territory.
