There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

"Welcome to the jungle and my office! In Kanha, if you spot a Tiger, you will either be following it or it will be following you." said Vipul to introduce himself on our first safari together on Sunday morning; who had eyes and a smile as curious and innocent as Mowgli and is practising being a naturalist (an expert in natural history) at Taj Banjaar Tola since the last three years of his life. During our first safari which began moments after sunrise, at 5:15 AM, when the sun had already risen and it was completely dry; we entered the jungle with our fingers crossed. We successfully spotted wild dogs, jackals, sambhar + spotted deers, magnificently massive gaurs (Indian bison) and several kinds of wild birds + a few creepy yet fascinating insects into the wild. However, we did not see a single #tiger. We collectively decided to bravely enter the jungle again, twelve hours later in the evening. After an hour and a half of battling our immunities against the ice cold droplets, Vipul continued driving until the Rain Gods subsided the downpour momentarily, probably only for us to coincidentally take a short break at Baghpullia, a small territory frequented by tigers of the national park. We waited. What happened next, not only left me oddly scared and silent immediately afterwards but shaken and stunned for 2 days after that moment. The Umarpani Male, also known as T30, the biggest and the dominant king of Mukki jungle in #Kanha, suddenly appeared out of the bushes and walked straight towards our jeep! He was is in his prime, weighing about 245 KGs and holds around 3 females I was told. Out of the three, 2 females have cubs; one has 4 cubs and the other just one. Umarpani stopped only for a few seconds meters away from our vehicle, to give every one of us inside a long intense stare; before he continued marking his territories again by spraying urine on the bushes out there. We followed him for the next 15 minutes and I still cannot believe what I witnessed out there. Thank you Taj Safaris and Vipul (gonna call him 'Modern Mowgli' for life) for this one-of-a-kind and unforgettable experience. It was nothing short of pure magic! I'll be back very soon!"

Is that an actual weight? Can’t belive it’s such a low weight if it’s true. Umarpani was so big compared to MV2.
