Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the late update.
Kankatti aka Vijaya is dead and she is no more.

The roars of Kankati Tigress, aka Vijaya of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve will not be heard anymore. Her dead body was found in the Charan Ganga water body near the Tala zone entry gate on Wednesday 6th August 2014. She was around 7 years old and has been the prime attraction of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve ruling the Chakradhara Meadows for over 4 years.

It was said that she a had a fight with a male tiger over a kill and to protect her cubs, there were several injury marks in her body especially around her neck. Among the 3 cubs of Kankatti, two cubs were found dead near the chital kill with the third one being alive. Forest Officials took the cub as it cannot survive on its own.

A very sad incident. RIP Kankatti
