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.

Taru 

Origins unknown, this big young badass of a male tiger does not know what giving up means. He first ventured into Agarzari where he stayed for a while but then one day he ran into choti madhu who was on a gaur kill in Dewada, maybe the smell of the kill attracted him to the location as he had never been seen in Dewada before. After the run in choti madhu smartly hid her subadult cubs and Taru was seen leaving after filling his belly with some gaur meat. I guess It was his attraction towards choti madhu that led him to visit Dewada zone regularly after that and then eventually he played a part in dethroning the then king of Dewada- Agarzari-Junona - Bajrang. Taru has been in constant fights since then and has now taken over much of the Dewada and Agarzari area while Chota Dadiyal has taken over the Junona area. Shambhu and Paras also continue to hold some territory in agarzari and parts of Dewada.

Till date Taru has been in fights with Bajrang, Shambhu and Paras. He still continues to be the most seen male in the area while both Paras and Shambhu have started to being seen lesser and lesser. 

Interesting thing is Taru after taking over Agarzari from Bajrang went to the extreme ends of his territory to explore the area. During one of his exploration he came across Madhuri- Queen and Godmother of Tadoba who is now living around the coal mines of padmapur after being pushed out by her daughter choti madhu and W mark tigress. He was spotted roaming with Madhuri during the monsoon around the mines area. He also went as far as Mamla zone to explore the area but returned and it now looks like he favours Dewada and Agarzari zone more. 

Taru was also interestingly seen in one of the rarest scenes in the wild , He was seen consuming and carrying away a sloth bear last monsoon. A very rare thing to come across in the wild. 

Looking forward to what this male has in store for us. He has been a delight ever since his arrival and it's going to be really interesting to see his behaviour as a father which he soon will be.

Choti Madhu T-127

Lineage - Daughter of Khali and Madhuri 

Born to late Khali and Legendary GodMother of tadoba Madhuri around 2016. Choti Madhu has taken tadoba buffers by the storm. 

She became viral when as a subadult she once chased a tourist jeep for fun. Since then Choti Madhu took over majority of her mother's territory and now roams both Dewada abd Agarzari zone. She is seen frequently by locals and visitors crossing the main traveling tar road. 

Choti Madhu has had 2 litters till now both were sired by Bajrang who was a long standing king of tadoba moharli buffers. The most famous among these 6 cubs is Xylo who was the first litter male cub he is now ruling the Belara buffer area in Kolara side of Tadoba. The 3 subadult cubs of latest litter have separated a few months back. 

 After Bajrang was dethroned Choti Madhu  was seen mating with Taru. She was also seen with Paras and Shambhu. One of the interesting sightings of this year was when Shambhu was mating with both Choti Madhu and W female side by side one after the other. One of the rare sights for sure. 

Taru continues to be moving in and around choti madhu and he holds majority of the territory she roams in both Agarzari and Dewada zone. Hopefully we can expect good news from her this monsoon and see some new cubs next season.

The Giant with a Gentle Heart 

Chota Matka is a caring and loving father just like his own dad Matkasur. He has been seen taking care of the cubs and watching over them a few times already. He had a hard time in his early life as he was casted out by his father who was trying to protect his cubs with maya. He was then beaten up a few times by then ruler of Alizanza/Navegaon Ramdegi/Nimdhela Buffer Mowgli. During one of these fights he also lost part of his flesh near his jaw. And so the deadly look was born where you can see his canines all the time. He has grown big and strong in the last 6.5-7 years and finally commands a good territory to his name. 

Last season he managed to overthrow Mowgli and took over his entire territory. He then sired cubs with 3 females and now has a total of 9 cubs with his DNA that roam the tourism area regularly. 

Chota Matka

Son of Choti Tara and Matkasur

Introducing T 120, the rising star of the jungle! This young male tiger is on a mission to make his mark, roaming zones 2-3-4 and challenging some of the legendary tigers in the area. 

With a powerful lineage, sired by T03 and born from the second litter of mother T 63, T 120 is definitely one to watch out for in the coming years…

@Roflcopters do you have any pics of Gangaram in your archives?
Pls Ignore above.

That wound of K1 looks quite bad, do FD provide treatment in such cases?

this is Gangaram from 11 years ago. 

Quote:That wound of K1 looks quite bad, do FD provide treatment in such cases?

generally speaking, Tadoba FD usually doesn’t interfere with situations like these unless if it’s an absolute last resort for them. for example, Jharni tigress was nearly killed last year by CM, she fought CM in the hopes of protecting her last litter cubs with Mowgli. but in the end. she ended up losing all the cubs while also getting severely injured in the process. FD was aware of her injuries but refused to intervene. Hirdi Nala (Kolsa) was seen with a broken leg towards the end of last year, again FD decided it was best to just monitor the tigress instead of offering outside assistance and miraculously, she did survive without any assistance. Bhanuskindi (T17) was also found badly injured first week of April and FD designated a team of 25 forest department employees to keep a tab on her progress & also closed the area for tourists to help her heal. as per new info, she has been recovering well without any assistance. her cubs are being fed live baits though.

I agree! Shiva and Rudra are both really impressive given their age group. i still think R2 and Mahaman are two of the most underrated tigers of this era.

Jamhol male, Bandhavgarh:



@Roflcopters @Rage2277, R2 is on the way out. He is an old tiger close to 12-13 years old. In his prime, he was even bigger. But, his latest litter with KT female was very very impressive. While Shiva and Rudra have established themselves in the tourism zone, it was actually the other male cub, Pratap who was seen mating at 2 years 3 months old with a resident tigress that caught the eye. Even the daughter from this litter was big in size.
