Ranthambore, the tigers' paradise attracted tiger lovers to catch the glory of the most popular, the masculine Jhumroo.T-20 (Jhumroo)is the oldest male in the park that descended the dynasty of the great Machali, being her son. If Machali is the "Lady of the Lakes" than probably Jhumroo is called the "Lord of the Lakes " since after Machali, it was Jhumroo who reigned her territorial areas including the lake and other water body areas. 

From strapping young cub to gigantic male, the journey of Jhumroo in the Ranthambore vicinity is simply incredible. This 9 feet long male tiger is ruled the jungle by dominating the area around Padam Talao and Malik Talao and the entire summer was spent at the cool confines of Rani Bagh. With such a great dynasty, Jhumroo as fathered at least 18 descendants with four known tigresses. This majestic predator was being first observed by the tourists during July 2002 and is a very shy creature since he is being seldom observed by the officials.
