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.

Has Waghdoh been forced to the Buffer area by a new male or did he leave on his own accord to follow his females and their cubs?
Did the females leave because of a new male?
Sonam took over from her mom "Madhuri" and pushed her into the Buffer area and Wagdoh male followed Madhuri since he sired a litter with her. Also, just like I had anticipated. Wagdoh male defeated a huge male that was ruling the entire Buffer area and pushed this male towards the boundaries of the park. I tried finding proof for ages but couldn't find anything documented until i came across the Tadoba Bufferzone Facebook page and everything started making sense, I can't say I am surprised. Wagdoh is the most powerful male in Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve and maybe the biggest in Central India.

Here's the direct proof from Tadoba Bufferzone facebook page itself.

I am assuming that the same thing must have happened on the Junona side and I know i am right, you can't just walk up to another tiger's territory without paying the ultimate consequences, in this case. ofcourse. Wagdoh male seems to have defeated two powerful males, one with a illistrious reputation and the other could very well be his arch nemesis or "Yeda Anna aka Broken tails" - also a large male and the son of the legendary tiger "Sultan". (most ruthless tiger to rule Tadoba in the early 2000's, comparable to B2's dominance in Bandhavgarh, or Charger's dominance in Pench.)
I also heard that Shivaji has now left the Kolsa region and has been pushed South East by a new male, that new male could very well be his own son aka "Veer". It's funny how things change in a matter of few years, we watched these youngins grow and now they are taking over to rule. [img]images/smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
Wouldn't surprise me, Waghdoh looks as large as I have ever seen him right now. He is in amazing condition, I did hear the Shivaji has been sighted by one person but many others say they haven't seen him since 12'.
That is a massive male pictured though, what a specimen. Lets add him to the list, I love to see these new big boys that we never hear of, Always a positive sign.
