Jignesh Patel JD‎ The tiger sightings in Tadoba has turned out to be interesting day by day with the appearance of new tigers in the Kolara area from different parts of the forest. 

Earlier we had posted about the Psuedomelanistic leopard in the tourism zone which had travelled about 50 kms from the Kolsa range to Kolara range in the two to three months looking for the territory. 

There is a similar incident which happened today in the Kolara buffer.

A young male, of about three years old has arrived to the Kolara buffer, where he was seen walking boldly on the safari track. Not only him but another young tiger of about two years of age stalked him curiously to know who this new tiger was! 

We identified the new male (3 years old), as one of the sub adults of Kuhani tigress from the Kolsa range, 50 kms away from Kolara. The sub adult (2 years old) stalking this new male is one of the cubs of previous litter of Sharmili, a tigress from the Kolara Buffer.

This infers that there might be an interesting tiger corridor which is leading the big cats to move away from their mother's territory (Kolsa) to Kolara. It is quite interesting to learn and understand how these majestic beasts travel so far to lead a successful life of a tiger.
