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 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.

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.
