Tigers of the Eastern Ghats

[Sanju]

I know that one pic from Telangana is not from "Ghats" which is other than Amrabad i.e.., kawal (Deccan) or comes under Central Indian part but felt posting here is appropriate.

This tigress was captured in the Amrabad Tiger Reserve by field staffers, @naveen_ronga and @santosh_chowdary7.

Farha was spotted on the Farhabad Route, making this the first authentic photographing of a tiger in Telangana.
A lot more needs to be done to conserve these magnificent creatures if we want to have more such instances of sighting tigers in their natural space.

Tigress Phalguna is a supermom! She has given birth to eight cubs since the year 2015.
We hope she lives a long and healthy life having contributed so greatly to the tiger numbers in India.

Female tigers usually reach maturity at around three to four years of age. Their gestation period lasts anywhere between 105 to 110 days, with a litter of two to four cubs at the end of it. The cubs stay with their mother, and learn the ropes on tigerhood for the first eighteen months of their lives, after which they move on to establish their own territories.

Phalguna, having given birth "twice" to litters of four, is indeed a Tiger supermom!

Tiger signs found in a protected area mere meters away from a newly tarred illegal roadway in Telangana.

The dangers of roadways running through wildlife habitats are manifold, ranging from roadkills, introduction of foreign species, landslides, and pollution. Less than a quarter of the land in India is forested, but most of this land is heavily fragmented. Reply
