A very huge tiger, he specialized in preying on Gaur, hence the name. He was found dead with a throat injury in 2004, the same year that Limping male moved into mukki range. It's unclear whether Gaur Singh's mortal wound was inflicted by a gaur or by his rival. Photo credit: Yamini Nafde.

There is no much info on Gaursingh's ancestry. He ruled Mukki range for 6 years from 1998 to 2004.
A very BIG male who loves hunting gaurs, hence he got the name Gaursingh. He targetted mostly the adult gaurs, because these huge and fierce beasts are dangerous to all but the biggest and bravest tigers.
He sired many cubs in Kanha during is reign.
He mated with several females like Minkur, Badi Mada, Kitra Kudri and Heart shape female.
Gaursingh died in 2004 with a throat wound inficted by a gaur. Reply
