    Dear Apollo,

The info shared by you is indeed accurate except for the part "Then came the Redeye male or thin striped male, who after losing to Munna at Kanha meadows moved to Mukki, killed chain male and ruled it."

Kindly note, Red Eye is an entirely different Male altogether who took over Kanha meadows after Munna apparently left the area. Red Eye subsequently moved over to Sarhi side (Sangam) upon the arrival of Bajrang (Bheema's Brother). Red Eye was last camera trapped in Sarhi during early 2016.

Meanwhile a new male (subsequently named as Thin Stripe Male for obvious reasons) migrated from Pench and arrived Mukki through the Pench-Kanha corridor. Thin Stripe Male had been camera-trapped in Pench (M.P) regularly as a sub-adult too & hence was easily identified upon his arrival in Mukki. It was Thin Stripe Male who'd killed Chain Male to take over major parts of Mukki. Umarpani Male arrived & defeated Thin Stripe Male who ran for cover only to be driven away by Kankata at Baba Thenga Talao and was never sighted thereafter. 

I'm attaching pics of Red Eye followed by Thin Stripe Male. Reply
