I have heard the waghdoh has moved to buffer zone and he was defeated by another dominant male. No further information though

Edit: Here is what I just read "Shailesh Naik Atulji, i also heard that he is missing , not seen since few days. is it true? any idea. July 8 at 9:01pm · Like Atul Dhamankar Today afternoon he was seen on main road near kalapani..... Yesterday at 8:59am · Like · 1"
Kalapani is near Devada Chowki and thats his usual area, also Im not surprised by the amount of competition he's getting. especially considering the fact that he smashed two big males that resided within the bufferzone bounds and now he controls it all. just imagine ruling Agarzari, Devada and Junona altogether. Wagdoh is responsible for the mere destruction of the bufferzone's hiearchy, there was a huge power shift pre-monsoon 2014. This was when Madhuri gave room to Sonam and moved to the Buffer areas. Wagdoh followed and conquered the entire area along with entering Junona and then Agarzari. and now. The blood thirsty sons of those males defeated want revenge and possibly the area where they grew up. Its not going to be an easy task for Wagdoh either. He's old and has a lot to loose on the table. At the end of the day, Im sure we all want him to rule a bit longer. hoping for the best and Sanjay. the male that fought Wagdoh was defeated and hasnt been since the fight. Again, no identity.
here's an interesting in-depth write up from the Nature Photography club of India, i think they explain his deep roots in their words very clearly.
Waghdoh, the undisputed king of Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve today reigns a large part of the buffer forest across Junona, Agarzari and Kalapani, after voluntarily moving out of Moharli last summer. Given his love for his queens and his penchant for taking care of his cubs, he is regularly sighted on the Chandrapur-Tadoba Road leading to Moharli village, during his outings with the little ones, who are now by no means little anymore. Over a year old, his cubs are growing big and beautiful under the tutelage of their father and mother, Madhuri. But this isn't the only family of Waghdoh. He is known for his large family that comprises of three tigresses and ten cubs. Although, he is regularly seen with Madhuri's four, unseen to the outside world, he also raises the cubs of the Kalapani and Agarzari females, one having two cubs and the other three. While moving over to Agarzari, he is cautious though, given the influx of new entrants like Khali who are eyeing a large piece of his kingdom. But the king has seen tougher times and with age comes wisdom. He treads cautiously avoiding confrontation and thus, still holds control of his lands. We were on his trail this January since we follow this family closely. After information arrived at noon, that he had lead the cubs to the road and had, at that moment, blocked the road, we rushed only to realize that he had moved into Junona. With the noon drive due, we moved into Junona instead of the planned Kolsa range, after the morning rendezvous with the Kolsa queen. As we tracked the family’s pugmarks inside Junona, we were clearly confused since the father and four cubs’ pug imprints were all over the place, in all possible directions. We chose to stay, while other cars that followed us chose to search around. Two hours later, the king called out to his prince and princesses for he had killed only a while ago that day and was resting in a puddle inside the thickets while his progeny were out exploring the land. With no response, the king decided to step out to look and as he stepped out, found himself face to face with us – mortals who simply watched this majestic king in awe.

Some more Waghdoh news and the final part of the Ranth news from most recent trips "Raghavendran Kandaswami Waghdoh's area in Core never entered the boundaries of Jamni, neither has he ever ventured as far as Kolara where the incident occurred, even when he was in Core, Shailesh Naik... It is unlikely that he will ever move back to Core, particularly Telia. He was last seen in Dewada and apparently got into a row with another male after which he was seen with minor injuries... I have seen his pugmarks close to Adegaon village by the end of season... That photograph was shot by Gajanan Bapat and is certainly a much older photograph that any recent one by him...7 hrs · Like" Tiger Trackers with Vijayarajan Muthu and 30 others13 hrs · Hey All,Here is the final part of the summary of the season that got over in Ranthambhore. We hope you take your time to go through the entire post.Sultan (T-72) : After Ustad’s unfortunate eviction, Sultan was widely believed to make a comeback to claim the vacant territory. However, he hasn’t been sighted by the Forest Patrol team since the last couple of months. Needless to mention, his sightings dried up since last summer due to the fact that he established territory in the periphery of the park which lies outside the tourism zones. Although there have been talks within the Forest Department to create Tourism Zone-11 which falls in Sultan's territory, official confirmation is awaited. Needless to mention, Machli, the Grand Old Lady does reside in the same area too & we wish the zone is opened for tourists so that apart from direct sightings, any untoward incidents could also be reported to the FD, a win-win situation if at all it materializes.While Sultan's territory adjoins a village notorious for disappearance of Tigers he could either be lurking around in his home range. One also cannot rule out the possibility of his departure from Ranthambhore to other forested areas in search of a mate as well as territory. Although the FD hasn’t been forthcoming in this matter we hope & pray that he is safe and shall keep you posted on Sultan as soon as official word is out on his whereabouts.

Guess Why ?Somehow, this Sundarbans tiger looks to me like a Balinese tiger in the old days: lean, short, smallish overall. Sundarbans tigers prove that there is no need of genetic mutations or large time periods for a dramatic change in body size and skull shape. In less than 200 years, those 250 kg tigers originated from Central India transformed to a mere 100 kg individuals in those swamps. Climate, food availability and human interventions seems to cause more variations than Evolution itself, that is why we most take great care in proposing "subspecies" with so few evidence. 
@GuateGojira : One fundamental difference :
Natural predation (or "struggle for life"): elimination of the weakest. The predators killed the weakest at first. Human predation: elimination of the strongest: The men killed at first the elephant with the biggest tusks, the lions with the biggest manes, the biggest male bears, tigers , the most horned rhinoceros, buffalos and so on. Therefore natural order makes the animals' size decreased... And after if they (the scientists) want to call some other subspecies...

So more than just habitat, prey or territory have to come in to play, if the DNA sequence is different than all factors came in to play to create a different cat. I am by no means a genetic expert nor will I begin to say I know what it takes to change one genetic code to another, the time it takes or what is occuring, but im curious to know what happens and how it happens. They don't just classify something as a "sub species" without scientific data to back it. I just wish we had a genetic expert here to discuss it with more. |
