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.

That's sad if true.
I think Mangus dominance is coming to close, Bamera Son had already ran him off prior to this so im not sure what he'll do next.

Sanjeev Siva
The X-Factor.

Born in mid-2011, to the very famous Bamera and Kankati, three cubs - one male and two female, hogged the limelight. However, in mid 2013, one of the female cubs was declared dead followed by the male, in the Chorbehra area of Tala, where he was brought up and raised. An intruding male supposedly killed them both.

All was forgotten about the male, for years. In 2015, he made a dramatic comeback. He was popularly called Mr. X for being the unknown for a long time, also called Bamera's son (after his legendary father) and also because of the X-mark on his left cheek.

He made his territory in the Arariya fireline area (also called Tadoba water hole), where he was most frequently seen. Mid-2017, monsoon when the park was closed for tourism, his mate, Kankati jr. was poached, leaving behind three young cubs. And it wasn't known till another three months that Mr. X has been taking care of the cubs till then. The department then took over, and moved the cubs to human supervision.

The tigers in this line, Charger, B2, Bamera and Mr.X all have very distinctive qualities - Each took care of their family, particularly were doting fathers like no other; each ruled sizeable territories like no other and each of them fought and injured their respective fathers, to end their territorial dominance.

The death of Kankati jr., changed the dynamics of the park, with Mr. X being responsible for much of the changes.

First, he persuaded Solo, Kankati jr's sister, to mate with him, and Solo gave birth to his cubs, which eventually couldn't survive (or were killed). Mr. X was left without a mate, but not for long when he decided to expand his territory, from Magadhi to Tala, thus coming in contact with Solo again. Solo, this time, having delivered 5 cubs (a rarity in wild) from Mangu, a dominant male from Tala was grievously injured by Mr. X. She was saved with the intervention of the forest department. Bamera's son has a tussle with Mangu too, and drove Mangu out of his territory, and now is making inroads to conquer his former homerange.

With Mangu driven out, and no other prime male in the heart of Tala, Mr. X seems to have reached the throne. And Mr. X just opened the avenues for an imminent threat to females such as Banvehi, Solo and Spotty who are at a risk of losing their cubs. The threat is from other males as well, such as Chakradhara female's (T44) son from previous litter, Banvehi's son from previous litter, and the vanished Rajbhera sons (probably living off the park's boundary), the situation today is variable, the X-factor, that will decide what's in store in the coming seasons.

It's sounding like he's getting some blame for the cubs death as well, I wonder how it'll shake out with him, Mr. X and Mangu.

Up close & personal with this prime male who's the current show stopper of central India. Things just cant get better than witnessing him approaching real close.

Heads on are always priceless, no mater how much you witness them on field in wild, every moment would turn out to be blissful second after second. Such a beauty it is to witness them moving right ahead towards us defining how royal they would love to treat, provided we maintain a decent distance and get along their way intruding their privacy.

Misty Morning filled with the touch of early winters be like this. That sort of vibrant feel & mood swinging touch can be experienced at non other than land of tigers located at Central India. Wont be revealing their ID nor location.

Lighting was as pleasing as one could experience in this frame. Achieving it the right way was quite a hectic job as on field one really need to face lots of constraints & hurdles. But finding space and cracking an early dose wasn't that hard as expected. It happened in a flow and this one frame does speak about the moment experienced & followed by.

Life around in wild too is fascinating at times. Every action being a portrayal of daily schedules. Studying the wild phase can definitely lead you to better understanding. And i must say it's a always a bliss to get hold of all odd & evens, tagging along with mother nature and enjoying her visual beauty as a whole by spending time with her, with in her premises.

Wildlife is totally engaging as usual, and every living being would reflect us back with emotions and expression when surrounded by a situation. Its the same with every natural behaviour. Just look in to those eyes and get hold of that priceless stare, A natural act which compromises every emotional aspect.

Cracked it with my Favourite Canon 7D MII & Tamron 150-600mm G2 Combo.
