Born to Old Mukki male and Minkur female, the cubs were raised in the Mukki range. Among the cubs Munna was the most dominant. Pattewala is more of a laid back type. After the death of there father in 2004, the Mukki range was taken over by the "Limping male", so the Minkur female moved the cubs to the Southern part of the Mukki.

The name Pattewala means the "collared one", because this male was radio collared.
On reaching adulthood, Pattewala moved out of Mukki and settled in Kisli.
During his prime Pattewala had several battles with Konda, Bhima and Munna.
As such a large tiger, his confident personality, around both visiters and other tigers, was unsurprising. This confidence, paired with his large physique, is his main points of identification as his coat is particularly non-descript. He was not afraid to leave his territory and roamed widely.

In December 2009 Pattewala had a territorial battle with Munna and was seen limping with several wounds.
Here are some pics of the injured Pattewala.
