Sarat TalluriSanctuary Asia 2 hrs ·     Krishna [T19] Story :
This was taken at about 4 pm in the evening after Krishna was going home after a fight in territorial aggression and got injured. You can see puncture wound on one of its hind legs. Swam a nearby lake and then started going home. We followed all the swim across the lake and then walk down till disappeared in the woods down.

Taken with Canon 5D Mark III camera + Canon 2.8 70-200 glass handheld.

Exif: Aperture priority with aperture 2.8, evaluative metering with exposure bias of + 1, ISO 2000 yielded a shutter speed of 1/5000 sec at about 4 pm on a ok light day.

Krishna [T19], Royal Bengal Tiger, Ranthambore, Rajasthan, India.

First family on the move at Ranthambore. As the cubs are almost 1 year old some personality traits are clearly visible. One the the cubs, female cub looks more adventurous and daring than siblings and prefers to spend time away from mother and siblings. Have seen her walking at a distance from rest of from family at times...is she the dominant cub in this litter only time will tell. — with Anurag Sharma.

Row #3

Thanks guys and I'm aware that a few of the specimens are missing from the list. Once i find a good print and gather enough specimens to do another Row. I'll throw them in. 

Edit: Pasha and the Buffer sub adult do look identical but could they be the same? or my eyes are deceiving me? 


*This image is copyright of its original author


Pasha


*This image is copyright of its original author


the male i labelled as bufferzone subadult is Pasha aswell. Phew, good call.

Ok I'll cut him out and add the pandherpauni youngster in to the picture. 


Ok so i added this guy http://wildfact.com/forum/topic-tiger-directory?page=16 from post #238

And here's the newly updated picture.

Also, for those of you wondering why me and rage221 think Jabbar and Wagdoh are brothers. Here's why


*This image is copyright of its original author


Huge male Jabbar on the left with a tigress


*This image is copyright of its original author


Close up, damaged eye and possibly blind?


*This image is copyright of its original author


Side Profile of Jabbar 




*This image is copyright of its original author


and now my boy Wagdoh male


*This image is copyright of its original author


Wagdoh male


This is the closest thing to Wagdoh male that I have seen and if this male was dominant in 2008 then i guess him and Wagdoh could be brothers. Wagdoh male is allegedly 13 years old according to Tigernation.

Wasn't it rumored that Waghdoh and Yedda Anna could possible be bros as well?

Jabbar looks to have a large head on him but Waghdoh definitely has the more massive neck on body IMO.

 Tiger Nation shared Daulat Singh Shaktawat's photo.10 hrs ·When the risks get greater than the rewards. T7 of Ranthambhore outside the park last year.

[b]forest ranger.[/b]T7 (5-year-old) one of the favourite’s tiger of the tourism zone who shared his territory with his own father T2 (10 year old) unfortunately strayed out of the park due to the overgrazing of cattle by Uliana and Bhadlav villagers and entered the agricultural field of Bhuripahadi village.
The Background: At about 3 AM tiger killed one of the buffalo calves of a villager, at about 3.15 AM the villagers discovered this, threw stones on the tiger, pulled away the calf, and informed the forest department.
The forest department reached on site around 5 AM and about three canters of police also reached. By then about 1,500 villagers had gathered around in that area, the men and women of the village were creating unnecessary havoc and pressure on the officers.
*This image is copyright of its original author
Sites of attack which have taken place in the past 4 monthsOne of the Rangers – Mr Daulat Singh [The most able and efficient ranger of Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve] was cornered by villagers and physically abused.
This shoving created stress and strain on the forest rangers. The tiger was equally stressed due to the continuous stone throwing and other noises.

The stressed out tiger trying to find its way out of the crowd back in the forestThe ranger tried to tranquilize the tiger twice but missed the shot, third time around he tried to bend down and check if the tiger was darted but the tiger made a surprise attack.

Daulat Singh Saktawat was gravely injured on hands and face with him losing one eye.

*This image is copyright of its original author
Mr Daulat Singh rescued by the forest guardsHe was rushed to the Sawai Madhopur Hospital, which had no electricity in the first place leave alone a sterilized Operation theatre. The state of the hospital was pathetic with no monitoring equipment, no oxygen, no ventilator and room was moist and filthy with fungus on the walls. Crowds of people were allowed to enter at will as if there was some magic show taking place and everyone was invited. Every possible protocol of Emergency Care was violated. Very crude patch up work was being done and that too in the light of a torch and even the torch was not immediately available and was brought by Dharmendra Khandal which was a car light used for Hyena filming. The generator was not working and everything was left to the mercy of God.
Under normal circumstances in such a small District town, the General Hospital would be the logical place to take all emergencies, but here there was an option of the best emergency care that was on the way from the site of injury, which was Ranthambhore Sevika.
The Sevika Hospital was on the way from Bhuriphadi and would save at least 30 minutes time as that is how long it would take to get to the General Hospital. Sevika Hospital is equipped with the best Doctors and equipment and yet the local officials took the unnecessary risk to take one of their brethren to the General Hospital where even electricity was not available.
These were the mistakes made due to the ego and protocol issues by the forest department, however there were some mistakes made on the site of the catastrophe:
No basic emergency equipment was available to combat the situation in such case with mob around; a kit should be available with the foresters, which would contain a loudspeaker to pacify the crowd, safety wear for the team such as helmets, and thick jackets (Which could have prevented this incident due to which Mr Daulat Singh ji lost one of his eye).
The eye lid was stitched with the cheek in the Sawai Madhopur hospital pretty badly and it will take a lot of work and expertise of the plastic surgeon to correct it.
Mr Daulat might not be able to see with one of his eye in the future but the eyes above all of us is looking at the people who let it happen due to their ego's and impassivity.
After the darkness of the night the tiger returned back in the jungle...

Feel really bad for the tiger.. All that stress he must have been in... I think people in India should get more knowledge about what they should do in wild animal encounters! it can happen out of nothing! When everyone screams and throws things on animals as dangerous as tigers, leopards and wild elephant's, the damage can be fatal for people and also for endangerd animals! 

People should get inside and let forrest officials and rangers take care of it. That would be much safer for the willagers and less stress and panic for the animal. 

Great pictures @Pckts tfs! glad The tiger escaped!

Its even worse because the villagers were actually attacking the forest dep't guard as well for not doing something sooner.
It's sad that these people who are poor (which is the majority) have no access to educational tools that can teach them the importance of nature and all its inhabitants. Hopefully one day all will realize that animal or man, we all deserve a place here and we can make it work if we try.

That was a tragedy actually, Mr.Daulat Singh was an honest ranger who worked his job without proper gear and highly underpaid. And as far as the tiger goes, he's now a resident male in Sariska Tiger Reserve.
