thanks! @DaveB I'll add some more.

CT male

*This image is copyright of its original author

Dec/2017, he was seen fighting Prince (Samrat) back and forth majority of the year and finally succeeded by mid july 2018. by 2019 and onwards, Prince/Samrat was never seen. as the days progressed. CT gained substantially over all the rival males in Sillari to rule the biggest area.

CT in his prime. 2019

CT was seen from 2017-2019, not sure what happened to him. he vanished without a trace. i did some digging and found this about him (below). not sure how true this is, i didn't see anything mentioned in the news so take it with a grain of salt. keep in mind, the pic used in the post is an older picture of CT.

2019-2022 were some really interesting years for Pench MH, Sillari.

*This image is copyright of its original author

Old Raiyakassa male crossed over from MP side of Pench to Pench MH, he was seen near Sillari gate. July/2019, just a few days before the parks closed. he remained in the area until early 2021 and died the same year by summer.

Raja from Pench MH, Sillari. perhaps the strongest tiger from this region in the present day. Nov/2020

*This image is copyright of its original author

Raja as a cub in Mansinghdeo. May/2017

"Raja"

Prince from khubada is now contender of East Pench.
Born in late 2015 in one of lesser known parks, Mansinghdeo wildlife sanctury , he is one of the four cubs born to the resident feamle which was electrocuted and found dead on 14th of January 2017 near maharkund badegao which comes under kapa territorial forest,
I was fortunate enough to photographed this majestic male tiger during his young days on 24th may 2017 at surewani gate Mansinghdeo wildlife sanctury when he was approx 15 to 18 months old and struggled for his survival with his siblings without the care of mother.
Felt happy to know that this mejastic guy managed to push away the 2 resident dominat males from east pench and established a place for himself in one of the prime land of Pench Tiger Reserve. He was seen recently at pench tiger reserve sillari gate by Durgesh urkude
He has gained an enormous size and has an attractive mane.
It feels happy when you come to know about such tigers survive on their own and surface mysteriously claiming the territory of their own.
I have christen him as "RAJA" after the king Mansinghdeo, the ruler of the area.

Tigers of Mansinghdeo, Pench MH

*This image is copyright of its original author

Bali/Santa (son of Jai from Umred) was the king of Pench, Khubala/Surewani. he moved in the area as a young cub in 2017 after travelling odd 100km. towards the end of the year he defeated the resident male (father of T53/Raja that presently rules Sillari). it's unclear if he's still around, i have no real updates. most likely the area is presently closed for tourism.

if you look on the bottom right of the map, from Surewani gate, Maharkund and all the way to Khubala. this was the home range of Bali/Santa. if you look to the left of where the tiger and khubala gate is on the map. that area to the left was ruled by Mystery male. an interesting tiger that first appeared in the area as a young male in 2016 and was a really dominant tiger that had a territory on both sides of NH7 highway.

sadly an year prior to BMW being ousted, his family suffered some heavy blows. one of his son from 2013 litter was found dead. rumored to be 225kg at the time of his death at 2.5 years old. (words of Minh Ha is the only source i could really find till this date - if someone has any clarification. i'd love to see. Baghin Nala was also poisoned along with her new litter cubs in March/2016. these from my memories were some of the darkest days of Pench.

About the post on tiger predation on guars, I wasn't aware of the different guar killing methods by tigers. I thought they only go for the throat bite when there is a chance... Thanks for updating us!

Also, all hail Shambhu!

I’m starting to see it now, he does look like Wagdoh in most of his recent pics.

this could very well be true as Shiva also had presence in Mamla and Shambhu originally was first sighted in Mamla and photographed for the first time in Agarzari.
