"Humpty Dumpty had a great fall."
The Brat of mohurli "Circuit ", he was one of the tiger's who left an unforgettable impression and countless memories in his 20 months of life. He was named circuit by the guides, drivers and some regular tourists. They called him circuit because of his crazy habits or some untigerly behavior . He acted as if he already is a big adult dominant male tiger, at the age of less than 12 months he stayed away from his mother and other siblings for 3-4 days but came back when he felt very hungry. He loved breaking the camera traps regularly and drag them away, He loved smelling the gypsy tires. Quite a few times he scared the hell out of many new tourists, who didn't know circuit . But when the mother is around he would sit as quiet as he could. And as the mother is out for a hunt, Its the circuit show. He would jump, run fight with the siblings and do all the crazy things he can. Pls see this series in full frame.This evening he was playing with his sibling, splashing the water, fighting and what not...... he was dead tired. And this log was his property he would not let anyone sit on his seat. Even in this series his sibling is seen behind whom he just fought with. He got his seat, he sat on the log like a king..... he looked relaxed, then he shook the water off his body.....but it was a bit too fast and gave him a head rush. And Splashhhhh down goes "Circuit" and banged his head on the log (every1 there was rolling with laughter) . And the very next second he quietly put his head on his favorite log and went to sleep. Few months later we heard that circuit was found dead on the edge of the tiger reserve. Most likely killed by some other male tiger. He lived for 18-20 months but gave me some unforgettable lifetime memories to cherish. I still miss him.
