Easy to spot with his offset tail, Yeda anna has not let this affect his survival or his good looks.

Crooked Tail arrived in Tadoba in 2006. He was completely unknown at the time but soon started to have real impact because of the paucity of dominant males at this time in the area. Boom and Hilltop male had for years had the run of the mill to themselves and so Crooked Tail came as a wake-up call to them.Soon Crooked Tail, a big muscular male was nestling in on their turf and slowly he began to push Hill top male north and settling into his own prime territory.

At this time he was so sure of himself that he began to become an extraordinary thief, seldom seen hunting himself he found it easier to steal from his ladies or even on one occasion from wild dogs.

By 2008 he was at his prime and covering a number of tigresses, including Vasanti (J4) and Laxmi (M1) and probably others.

After 2011 Yeda anna was chased off from his territory by the Mighty Waghdoh (M8). So he moved out and found refuge at cheezghat and vasanth mandhara area in Tadoba Range. Right now he rules the place.
