The Terai Tiger

I am sorry @Pckts, I don’t know anything about that white tiger. To be honest, there are so many such taxidermy specimens across India that you don’t give a second thought to it.
Dudhwa does have a couple of tigers with Siberian genes after a person released a hybrid tigress in the wild after teaching her how to hunt in the late 80s. In 2014, there were two such tigers with “alien” gene. Very interesting to see what happens to them and if there is any “pollution” as the wildlife chief claimed it to have caused.

I believe Tara was shot dead for being a maneater, I dont recall for sure but I do remember she didnt contribute anything significant to the gene pool. It was something like 2 out of 20 showed a small trace of the siberian gene but nothing to make conclusions from and all the old skins tested showed no traces as well. It was statistically insignificant. 
Five tigers being translocated from Corbett to west Rajaji.
Updated: Jan 02, 2020 One of the two tigresses stranded in Western Rajaji without a mate. Both are now over 10 years old.  *This image is copyright of its original author Hindustan Times, Dehradun: Five tigers will be translocated from the Corbett landscape to the western side of the Rajaji Tiger Reserve this year of which, a pair will be shifted by April, said senior forest officials. Rajaji Tiger Reserve director PK Patro said the process of translocation of tigers from Corbett landscape is underway and the officials are preparing for a soft release as of now. “A pair of tigers, a male and a female, will be released in the western side of the reserve by April. For a soft release, we are working on an enclosure which will be ready by the end of this month,” he said. The tigers will be kept in an enclosed area of about a hectare and the big cats will be checked for any kind of diseases. “If they are directly released into the forest, it will be difficult for us to tranquilise them and capture them in case they catch an infection or spread it to the other tigers,” he added. In September last year, a team from the National Tiger Conservation Authority visited the Rajaji Tiger Reserve to check the preparations for the translocation process and suggested that a soft release of a tiger pair be done to the western side reserve. During the last tiger estimation, Rajaji had 34 resident tigers, including 32 in its eastern part which is spread across 150 sq km area, and two in the western part which covers 570 sq km. The eastern and the western part of the reserve are divided by a busy traffic corridor making it difficult for the tigers to migrate between the two parts.

Finally jinx of Tarai Tiger is broken. And they are huge!! Thanks to forest gods for keeping us engaged, thanks to rain gods for holding their horses whenever required. Special thanks to wifey Megha Singh for letting this horse loose ?. Harsh weather, rains, & other factors somehow couldn't distract us from our aim. Pics coming soon.

Tiger | Dudhwa National Park
. The Dudhwa National Park is a national park in the Terai belt of marshy grasslands of northern Uttar Pradesh, India. It was a cold winter morning and the temperature was around 2 degrees in the morning and it was freezing with cold wave hitting us in the open Safari vehicle. Indeed we were the most luckiest ones to spot this stripe beauty. The forest is a Terai landscape which offers a beautiful photographic opportunities. It was one my most memorable Safari trips and loved this Forest which is so pristine and beautiful. The Terai or Tarai is a lowland region in southern Nepal and northern India that lies south of the outer foothills of the Himalayas, the Siwalik Hills, and north of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. This lowland belt is characterised by tall grasslands, scrub savannah, Sal forests and clay rich swamps. . All rights reserved to the respected photographer.
