What's Munga's lineage?

Apart from the fact that he is from the Kulwah range (where he'd been camera trapped regularly) which is out of tourism areas, nothing else is known about Mangu. Reply

Hi @Vijay Rajan ,

So Chinkoo aka kulwah male (kalwa male) and Mangu are the same tiger ?
I too initially thought they are same but then tigerwalah said they are different males in their Bandhavgarh season roundup.

@Apollo ,

I reckon Tigerwalah actually wanted to imply Khitauli Male as Bheem & New Kalwa Male (wrong spelling !) as Mangu. I've absolutely no idea about the other local names like Chinkoo or Changu as they aren't used extensively. Btw, Mangu's official ID at BTR is T-9.

Thanks @Vijay Rajan  for clearing it up.

Hence Chinkoo, Changu, Kulwah male and Munga are all the other names given to Mangu male tiger.
Ill update this info at tiger directory too. Reply

The Emperor's Glare- Made this image in Bandhavgarh National Park. This is Bheem, probably the biggest male tiger ive ever seen in the wild ! He was about to woo a tigress who was a few feet away from him. Disturbed by our presence, through the view finder i saw him glaring right into me ! It was scary since all he had to do was take a few steps and pounce into our open gypsy. Look at those eyes !! Somehow managed to capture this. After spending around ten minutes with the pair, we let them be and drove away. Best viewed full screen — with Kriti Goel, Shreyas Jayakumar and Shane Jacob at Bandhavgadh National park, Madhya Pradesh.

The first male from Bandhavgarh is Mangu aka Munga male.
Bheem aka Tarun is bigger than Mangu.

he's such a dense cat. Reply

There was some debate in our jeep about who this Tiger could be. But I said BAMERA'S son right away because I could see BAMERA in his eyes, size and swagger. We saw him as we were losing light, hence the grain in the image. Was able to verify it is indeed BAMERA's 5 year old son through the KANKATI female. Back in 2014 he had a smalller head than his brother so we used to call him SMALLHEAD. I think that name will have to be revised now.

These Tiger cubs are of the legend Wagdoh Male & Old telia queen " Madhuri " female . Out of four cubs three survived and are growing well . 
One Male tiger from this family occupied territory near dewada village , nearby dewada talav & other male cub has occupied territory near padmapur range close to first entrance gate of tadoba . While the female from this family has 2 little cubs of around 4 5 month and have been sighted near hanuman mandir water hole of dewada buffer close to gate. 

She mated with Erai back water male which rules half of Agarzari buffer . There are two male who rules agarzari bufferzone , one rules from Dewada to kalapani area and is also father of latest madhuri & cubs . 
While the Khali male tiger rules from crocodile spot of agarzari till the backside of agarzari buffer towards kitadi & batadi . These both males are often referred by same name " Khali " , but they are two different male . Khali is father of Sharmili's cubs which are growing well & can be seen in agarzari bufferzone backside .

Looking at pictures alone, I think that Tarun, Jobhi and the the males from Pench are the most impressives known tigers in Central India.
I was surprised when it was posted in "naturesafariindia" and also here in Wildfact that Umarpani was the biggest tiger in Central India and that Bheema was 225kg when 2,5 year old. Both of them seems clearly not as powerful as Jobhi and Tarun.
By the way, the new generation in Bandhavgarh ( Mahaman, etc) and specially inTadoba (matkasur, Bajrang, etc ) do not look like as large as the predecessor. Wagdoh  must be in serious bad condition if Bajrang did in fact conquer most of his former territory.

there is clear evidence that Madhuri was pregnant when Sonam began to challenge her for the territory, Madhuri being in a tough situation decided to move to South West of Teliya and delivered a litter of 4 cubs. (2 females and 2 males). Wagdoh followed Madhuri and conquered the entire Bufferzone consisting of Agarzari, Dewada, Junona and his presence was still in some parts of Mohurli. the previous ruler of Agarzari was pushed out by Wagdoh while the original Khali lurked in the shadows and with constant battles with Wagdoh male, Khali finally suceeded early june, 2015 and took Agarzari from Wagdoh. his dominant days were shortlived and "Moh" came into the scene and fought intensly with Khali. in the end, they both divided territories within Agarzari and have territories overlapping each other. Wagdoh's two male cubs Shankar and Bhola were only 2.5 years old, when they both took charge of their territories. probably the youngest cubs with territories of their own! Reply

Wonderful info, as always.

I have a question regarding the old man. Has Waghdoh been seen again? Do you have any idea of how is he doing? Reply
