 There is a reason why Tigers of Kanha are the biggest in size. The two Tigers in the video here are just about 22 months, and look at the size. These are cubs of Mahaveer female in Mukki zone. Have broken away from the mother, usually roam alone, but once in a while seen together. Their father is Umarpani male another massive Tiger currently a dominant male in Mukki. While some believe that Kingfisher is their father. It must be noted that Kingfisher died in a territorial death, and most likely the culprit was Umarpani male. It is also noticed later on few occasions that Umarpani male spent time with these cubs in the monsoon of 2017, and even later in the year. Such cubs augur well for Kanha, and in particular Mukki. The head size is simply monstrous of these cubs in particular MV 2, but in today's sighting some people felt that MV 1, looked bigger. What was really very interesting was that their two sisters were also seen in the same safari a little distance away. Video taken by Sanjay Thakre. Munna still looking big and healthy at 16, from Dec. 2017   (05-14-2018, 09:34 PM)Pckts Wrote: Wasim Khan First class video and first class tiger. There is something in this video... aroma of tiger Classics, from the old British Raj, age of the Big game hunting, blood-freezing stories about tigers told by English travelers and gentlemen in the London's pubs...

The king of Kanha, the legend in the making... Umarpani!
Really hope that I can see him in person next May! (05-21-2018, 04:47 PM)Pantherinae Wrote: The king of Kanha, the legend in the making... Umarpani!He's a tough one to spot, we just missed him while we were there. He was literally in the middle of a few different roads roaring away but never came out. You'll most likely spot some tigers but it depends on which zones you're in and which zones the tigers are in, they shift quite often. We were there the same time and saw a bunch of tigers, got a few really close but glimpses of a lot of different ones. They're tough to spot, they love to just share quick glimpses. Getting up close, head ons or road blocks take a ton of luck. (05-21-2018, 10:07 PM)Pckts Wrote:(05-21-2018, 04:47 PM)Pantherinae Wrote: The king of Kanha, the legend in the making...

Yes I know he's not among the easiest, but April and May are said to be the easiest months to get a glimpse of him so I'll take ten days safari in Kanha through Sharad Vats who said he was going to try help me spot uma, I haven't been in Kanha before this is the first time I will travel to India by myself. So now I choose just to visit Kanha as to me it is the most beautiful park in India.

You definitely can't go wrong there, Kanha is massive. I could of easily spent my entire trip there. Even though Mukki was said to be the best place to spot Uma or CM at the time, it was fairly empty for us but oddly the Sarhi Zone which is higher up was amazing and we had our best spotting's there. I know you wan't to see Uma, but it's really hard to spot a single Tiger and you will have to go into multiple zones on morning and afternoon safaris. Most of the guides can't even tell the difference between Tigers, but they are the best when it comes to spotting them and they all talk with one another to find out where the best sightings are since they don't get tipped unless you see a Tiger. So take that into consideration when paying a naturalist, I'd only recommend using them if you need help with accommodations and communicating, but no naturalist will know better than the forest guide that is assigned to your gypsy and the driver.

And ofc I know it's not just about going to Kanha and say I want to see this and that, but searching for tigers and hopefully have the luck with you that day. I'm only dreaming about it I know very well it's not a certainty, but I have my hopes up, and can't wait to get there! I will this time bring my soon to be new quality photo and Video camera to fully document this trip and if interested I'll happily post it here as well.(05-21-2018, 10:34 PM)Pantherinae Wrote:(05-21-2018, 10:07 PM)Pckts Wrote:(05-21-2018, 04:47 PM)Pantherinae Wrote: The king of Kanha, the legend in the making...
