It is not easy for a young sub adult Tiger to carve out his territory in mid of forest. But, this young lad is trying to do it. Only time will tell if he is able enough or is pushed out by other dominant males. KD Male - Prince of Kisli, Kanha National Park 19th November 2019.  *This image is copyright of its original author

Collarwali Treated Successfully Today.
Collarwali / Mataram, the famous tigress of Pench Tiger Reserve, was seen walking today morning with a serious gash on her chest. The cause of the injury is unknown but the wound seemed serious and was infected with maggots. (Pics shared below). Rituraj Jaiswal & Monu Dubey Pench, who were the first to see the Tigress in the hapless condition immediately informed the forest department, which quickly swung into action and by afternoon the Tigress was treated and is reported doing fine. Mr.Vikram Parihar, the Field Director of Pench Tiger Reserve & Dr.Akhilesh Mishra, the Veterinary Doctor deserve a big applause for their prompt action and preventing any untoward incident for the Tigress & it's cubs.

A Kingdom of Tala, Bandhavgarh. Banka, the overlord One of the most prolific tigers and the cradle of tigers at Bandhavgarh, Sita was born in 1982, in a steep hillock with a cave system, now referred to as Sita Mandap. Apparently, she had taken over the territory of her mother. Her first and second litters were from the dominant male of the time, Banka (also referred to as Barkha), in 1986 and 1989, giving birth to three cubs each time. The most prolific of these two litters is the Hardia female, who went on to become the grand matriarch of Bandhavgarh. Banka, which means handsome, was the undisputed king of Bandhavgarh then. Banka was born in the late 1970s. I heard that there were 0 tigers in Bandhavgarh in early 70s, courtesy, the continued hunting even after India attained Independence. The first ever tiger was sighted in mid-70s. Nobody knows where Banka was born or who his earlier mates were. It is possible that Sita is one of his cubs and he mated with Sita after she drove her mom out; tiger population was so low then that inbreeding should’ve been more common. After ruling at the helm, Banka was challenged for the first time by a new male, who entered the park in the early 1990s. Charger, the indomitable The ageing 15-odd-year-old Banka became more aware of this intruder’s presence that he patrolled the territory more often than not. Little did he know that he would be overthrown by the notoriously aggressive 7-year-old tiger who came to be later known as Charger, for his attitude of charging at anything such as an elephant or a tourist vehicle. A vicious battle ensued between Banka and Charger in the dark of a night, with roars echoing through the forest. On that particular night in the summer of 1991, Charger mauled Banka and left him for dead, fighting the old warrior with such onslaught that Banka bled and was tattered. The era of Charger and his descendants has arrived. Together, Sita and Charger would go onto rule for the greater part of the decade. In 1991, Sita gave birth to 4 cubs. The males were known as Bada Bacha (big boy) and Langdu (Limper). Langdu was tolerated by Charger even at the former’s age of 4 years. In March of 1994, Sita gave birth to two cubs, one of them dead during infancy while another went on to give birth to a prolific line of male tigers. This tigress Mohini or Bacchi as she was fondly called, gave birth to B1, B2, B3 male tigers in April 1997, fathered by Charger, her father. Certain accounts state that Charger isn’t the father; The cubs were born in Tala range, primarily controlled by Charger then. No other male would have dared to enter Charger’s territory and also Charger wouldn’t have tolerated these three tigers for two years. I recollect one story where the males B1, B2, B3 made a kill with Charger in the vicinity and Charger snatched the kill from them, with them standing down and not engaging Charger. Generally, intruding males are dealt with severely. I also believe that notorious bad temper of B2 (a generally calm tiger, most times), who hated and charged at motorcycles (and gypsys sometimes), seems to have been inherited from his father. Mohini gave birth to two litters, later on. The second litter was from Charger and the third litter was from B2 (her own son). In March 2003, when her third litter of cubs were around 18 months old, Mohini succumbed to injuries inflicted in an accident by a vehicle plying through the highway that passes through the forest. The cubs seemed to have perished sooner. Coming back to Sita’s story, in September of 1996, she gave birth to a litter of three cubs that died at a very young age, and she littered again in the same year, for the last time, to 1 male and 2 female cubs. The male went missing, and the females were then known as Banvehi (or Vanvehi, aka Reshma) and Chakradhara (aka Pyari, from the areas, they ruled), another set of prolific females that raised around 25 cubs in multiple litters between them (with atleast 18 of them being fathered by B2 aka Sundar alone). Monsoon of 1998 was the last time, anyone ever heard of Sita. In all probability she was poached or perhaps died of old age (at a ripe age of 16, a feat for a wild tiger), and Charger lost his long-standing mate once and forever. Early 2000, Charger was challenged by a subadult B2 (aka Sundar), his own son. Regular fights with B2 left Charger injured and his age couldn’t handle B2’s growing might. Charger was exiled from the territory centred at Chakradhara, the throne of his territory, that he once fearlessly roamed and defended for more than a decade. Charger was driven away to Rajbhera meadows where he faced another son B1 (aka Raj) and was injured in the conflict. Charger perhaps was weakened by the cataract which impaired his hunting abilities and he was getting weak; else he would have still been potent enough to fight back his own sons. By June 2000, B2 ended the rule of charger who went missing, but was soon found by the department, in a starving and bruised condition in a ditch close to Mahaman / Mardari village. He was shifted to an enclosure where he breath his last on 29th September, 2000. B2, the formidable The massive territory of Charger fell into the hands of his sons, B1, B2 and B3. B1 (aka Raj) took control of Rajbhera area where he sired a litter with Kokila in August 2000. He was last seen in June 2002; most probably poached. B2 (aka Sundar) kept the lush Chakradhara area to himself while B3 (Bada Ladka) – the biggest of the three brothers dominated over B2 even from a young age, took control of hills beyond Chakradhara and parts of Mirchaini area. B3 mated with Reshma and gave birth to twi litters in 2000 and 2002 before he was electrocuted by poachers and died in November 2003. The entire territory again fell into the hands of B2. Unlike his father, B2 was at peace with human presence. The only thing he disliked the most was a motorcycle. B2 was challenged first by Challenger (his two-year-old own son) who was taking on Jhurjhura, Chorbehra and Mahaman areas. After Challenger’s mysterious death in 2003-04, a new male, Bokha (meaning broken tooth) ventured into these territories, and has remained one of the archnemesis of B2 and later of B2’s son, Bamera. For a major part of his life, and the decade, B2 seemingly had no other opponents. By January 2010, Bamera (also known as Shashi), a massive male was trespassing into the territory of B2. Bamera initially avoided Bokha and B2, the males that were becoming dominant then, in Tala range then. Bamera was born in December 2004 to B2 and Chakradhara female (aka Pyari) in her 4th litter. The other cub, a female has been relocated to Panna. In February 2011, the challenge to B2’s long reign then came from Kalua (aka Kallu), B2’s son from the old Mirchaini (aka Tulsi) female. Kalua was too young to face B2 and was exiled by B2. Age was catching up on B2, while Bamera was getting bolder and occupying much of B2’s territory. Bamera delivered the final nail in the coffin around the monsoon of 2011. B2 left the territory that he royally inherited from his father, and moved to Charwaha forest range, 80 Kms away from his throne at Tala. He was seen in an incapacitated state on 19th November, 2011, and died due to a possible tranquilizer overdosage and/or old age. Bamera, era of Tiger warfare Thus, arrived the true reign of Bamera, in 2011. Following the death of B2, Bamera amassed a huge territory for himself; like his father, he occupied much of the prime territory with the high seat of power at Chakradhara. The rising male tiger population in Bandhavgarh, particularly in the rich Tala area ensured that Bamera was never at peace, particularly after early 2013. Bamera wished to avoid conflicts. He even watched his mate Lakshmi (aka Langdi aka Chorbehra tigress) mate with Bokha from a distance, and didn’t challenge Bokha at that instant. But he eventually fought tigers. Bamera’s resistance to rule in his early years came from Mirchaini’s subadults at the time. His own son Pushparaj (from Waqeeta aka new Banvehi female) and one of Mirchani’s subadult cubs injured him (Bamera) from which he possibly never recovered fully. Rahasya (mystery male; some accounts say that he’s the son of Indrani, the Mahaman female and Jobhi) was also known to have fought aggressively with Bamera in Chakradhara area. Rahasya was later killed by Jobhi, in all probability. The tougher challenges were ahead of Bamera. Jobhi (son of Bokha aka Shaki) reduced much of Bamera’s territory. In one of the fights with Jobhi, Bamera was injured in both his fore paws, while he blinded Jobhi in one eye. Around March, 2014, Bamera was ousted by his son, born to Banvehi, from the prime territory. In October 2015, after park opened, Bheem aka Tarun encountered Bhagoda. Both of them were in a stand-off position before retreating but a few minutes later, a surprised Bamera who was passing through the area met Bheem. A dangerous fight ensued, in which Bamera bit Bheem in the shoulder, damaging his own canines in the process. Bheem turned out to be a nemesis for Bamera’s son, Mr. X as well. By November 2015, Bamera had a bad limp and he was relocated to a zoo for treatment. He never recovered and died six months later. Bamera had been a fighter through-out and probably faced and fought more tigers than any other single tiger from Bandhavgarh. His rule was perhaps the shortest of the dominant males of Charger line, but he fought like a true warrior, even though he hated war. The males he fought during his lifetime included Bokha aka Shaki, B2, Rahasya (Mystery male), Jobhi, Pushparaj (son of Bamera from Waqeeta), another son from Waqeeta, Blue Eyes (who later died due to a tranquilizer overdose, and perhaps destroyed by Jobhi/ Chota Charger) and even Mr. X (his own son aka Somanshu). Mr. X, the unknown Mr. X aka Bamera’s son was born in October 2011 to Kankati (aka Vijaya) and Bamera with two other females in the litter. In May 2013, one of the sisters was killed by an unknown male. He was seen till June with the other sister but was declared dead by the forest department in the following month. Though he was reportedly seen on and off in Hardia, Fort and Chakradhara areas. He resurfaced after 3 years in February 2016. I saw him for the first time in March 2016, after we entered the park, late. He was called Mr. X, after the X variable in Mathematics which generally represents unknown. He appeared huge for a 5-year-old male, primarily because he has been living off the cattle in the patches of grazing pastures and agricultural lands interspersed in his territory. He’s perhaps one of the few tigers from Bandhavgarh that has killed the mighty Gaur, but supplements his kills well with domestic cattle. The territories of Bandhavgarh remain porous and with human settlements and agricultural pastures immediately next to the core area, with chain-link fencing often separating the boundaries. Most tigers turn to cattle-lifting. He has had his fair share of fights with Mahaman male (born to Jobhi and Chote Mahaman female), whom he defeated and pushed him further into where he (Mahaman) rules now. The only serious defeat was in the hands of Bheem, who vanquished his father too. Nevertheless, Mr. X’s territory was limited to the current Magadhi zone where he fathered Kankati jr’s (daughter of Rajbhera ii female aka Jaya) cubs. After the park opened in October 2017, Kankati jr was apparently poached, and that incident set a chain of events rolling. First, Mr. X wooed Solo, Kankati jr's sister, to mate with him, and Solo gave birth to his cubs that eventually couldn't survive (or were killed). Mr. X was left without a mate, but not for long when he decided to expand his territory, from Magadhi to Tala, thus coming in contact with Solo again. Solo, this time, having delivered 5 cubs (a rarity in wild) from Mangu, a dominant male from Tala was grievously injured by Mr. X. She was saved with the intervention of the forest department. Bamera's son had a tussle with Mangu (aka Munga, the dominant tiger of Taka range) too, and drove Mangu out of his territory, and then seemed to be making inroads to conquer his home range. With Mangu driven out, and no other prime male in the heart of Tala, Mr. X just opened the avenues for an imminent threat to females such as Banvehi, Solo and Spotty who were at a risk of losing their cubs. The threat loomed from other males as well, such as new Chakradhara female's (T-44) son from previous litter and Banvehi's son from previous litter. Spotty’s cubs were killed by the Chakradhara male while Bamera’s son went back to his own territory in Magadhi, finding a mate in Dhamokhar female (sister of Kankati jr. and Solo, daughter of Rajbhera ii female). With age on his side and perhaps with no other males to challenge, Mr. X (remember, Bheem is aging) could rule Bandhavgarh – both Tala and Magadhi for a long time and enthral the tourists just like his forefathers did and perhaps contributing to the tribe. That said, the high throne of Chakradhara, Tala, remains vacant after the exit of Bamera. Disclaimer – A lot of information has been collected from various sources, accounts and personal stories. There always is room for discrepancy; please help me correct, if any. Photographed is Mr. X aka Bamera's son on a late evening stroll in early 2017. — with Banty Bandhavgarh.  *This image is copyright of its original author

A Kingdom of Masters. The stories of forests of Pench and Kanha were known atleast a hundred years ago, made famous by the English author Rudyard Kipling’s ‘Jungle Book’. Kipling has never visited any of these forests, but the setting of the story seems to have been inspired by these forests. He’s made numerous references to a place called ‘Seonee’, the modern day ‘Seoni’ (read as Shiv-ni) in Madhya Pradesh. It is in these forests that the true masters of strategy and ambush hunting were born – the greatest of their line, the definitive killing machines and the progenitors. Hunting more than twice a week to feed hungry stomachs, raising cubs like no other tigresses in the world, Pench is the kingdom of masters of hunt – the greatest ever. BadiMaa, the great mother BadiMaa or BadiMada (Great Mother) was born before 1996 and was known to have cubs by 1999. Nothing is known about her origin but I think she was born in these very forests; tigresses follow natal philopatry (living and breeding in the area where they are born). The first litter was sired by Charger (named on the lines of Charger from Bandhavgarh, and because of his temper); he was code named as T-1 by the forest department and was the most dominant tiger of that time; conspicuous by the absence of other males. He along with Badimaa became the cradle of tigers of Pench. Kalapahad male (T-2) and Kankati were known tigers of this litter. T-2 was also known by the name Chota Male. Between 1999 and 2005, not much is known about BadiMaa or her litters. Unlike Ranthambore, Bandhavgarh, Kanha and Corbett, the history of many other tiger reserves dates back to just one or two decades. We are robbed of some precious tiger information before the beginning of time. The earliest known documentation of tigers from Pench was of BadiMaa who was featured in in BBC’s ‘Spy in the Jungle’ documentary. The secretive life of tigers was perhaps known for the first time, owing to the usage of Elephant ‘trunk cams’ and ‘log cams’ that tracked BadiMada and her cubs upclose, showcasing the very finer insights never ever seen before. In October 2005, Charger (T-1) sired the second litter of BadiMaa, the family that featured in the documentary. Two of the cubs, Collarwali and BaghinNala went on to create the most prolific line of tigers of Pench, raising around 35 cubs, to adulthood, between them. Charger (T-1) soon faced stiff challenge probably from his own son, the Kalapahad male or Chota male (T-2) from the first litter of BadiMaa. Nobody knows what happened to Charger. The Kalapahad male seemingly injured BadiMaa, his own mother while she was protecting her second litter, long before he mated with her to produce the third litter. In May 2008, BadiMaa littered for the third time. Two of the cubs died much early, while the third cub was killed by an intruding male before he could complete a year. The fourth one, still surviving to this day, known as Langdi (because of a limp in her forelimbs though the handicap hasn’t hampered her hunting abilities) is equally responsible like her sisters – Collarwali and BaghinNala from the earlier litter, in promulgating her tribe. The number of females were increasing and this attracted males from even outside the park. With more tigers than ever before, Pench turned into a hot bed of tiger warfare. The intruding male of unknown foster that descended onto Pench and challenged Kalapahad’s (T2) rule was a tiger named BMW. He seemingly came from the Maharashtra side and was called BMW, owing to the stipes that resemble B-M-W on his left hind leg. BMW started to establish his reign in the park after overthrowing Kalapahad male (T2). At one end while the females were busy in increasing the tiger numbers, males were fighting it out for dominance over territory and females, on the other end. The aboriginal males of Pench (not from the line of BadiMaa and her descendants) seemed to have thinner and lighter stripes, with an almost absence of stripes on the forelimbs and locking stripe patterns on the belly areas. While the males that migrated to Pench seemed to have more darker and thicker stripe pattern, with a general absence of lock-stripe patterns. This was the case with Charger (T1), Raiyyakassa and Mystery male of Chorbahuli range. Collarwali and Baghin Nullah, the masters of the game Collarwali (T-15) and Baghin Nullah or BaghinNala were born in October 2005. Both belonged to the second litter of the tigress known as BadiMada or Badi Maa (Big Mother) and Charger of Pench (T1). Once the tigers grew to subadulthood, Collarwali was collared (and hence the name) for long term telemetry studies to understand tiger dispersal patterns. Even as a cub, Collarwali showed exceptional hunting skills, a trait that would make her one of the greatest tigers ever in the wild. A tiger is known to be successful in just 1 out of 10 hunts, but Collarwali is known to have been successful in 1 out of just 3 hunts. She was the first one to venture away from the family. Females become independent at a much earlier age, and they tend to mark territories and carve a territory for themselves out of their mother’s. Since she was collared, her territories and natal areas of her cubs were known. BadiMaa, her mother’s territory was around 22 sq. Km ranging from Sita Ghat in the North to Kalapahad in the South and Golpahad in the West to Jodamunara in the East. Collarwali grabbed a major chunk of this territory, the more fertile one with a bigger prey-base. Baghin Nullah (or BaghinNala) female was pushed to the south-east side of the park beyond Jodamunara. She made her territory around the Baghin Nullah area (from which she derives her name) close to Turiya. Collarwali delivered her 1stlitter in May 2008, from Kalapahad male (T2) around the Kalapahad area, one of the prey abundant areas. The cubs perished soon to pneumonia. Same time, BaghinNala female also delivered her first litter, from an unknown male. Collarwali delivered her 2ndlitter in October 2008 that consisted of 3 males and 1 female. A new male was trying to establish his territory. From the very unique stripe patterns, I believe him to be a male born in Pench, and of Charger (T1) lineage. He was a rather small tiger with a big head and was hence initially called ‘Bade Muh wala male’. He also came to be known as Sula, after the famous wine brand as he had a wine-glass shaped marking on his body. Collarwali’s second litter was under threat from this male that was trying to mate with her. She had to leave her cubs for days together to keep this new male away from her cubs. This was exactly the same strategy that her mother BadiMaa had engaged to keep Collarwali and her siblings safe from Kalapahad (T2) male years ago. Around the same time, BadiMaa was also raising her 3rd litter, whose territory was then shrunk to Bijamatta, Kalapahad, Piyorthadi and Jodamunara areas; Only Langdi survived this litter. The era of Raiyyakassa (aka T-30 aka Sula), so named from the area where he was probably born and BMW has started. BMW was more robust with strong shoulder lines while Raiyyakassa had a small build (but he eventually grew into one of the biggest tigers). Raiyyakassa also proved to be a formidable opponent. He soon took charge of a territory right from the northern extreme of the park – Karmajhiri and Raiyyakassa area till southern extreme – Piyorthadi, ousting BMW to the eastern portion of the park beyond Jodamunara. There was a considerable overlap on the eastern and southern side. BMW was happy with his share of females, BadiMaa and Baghin Nullah while Raiyyakassa mated with Collarwali for the longest period, delivering more litters and cubs than any other pair, ever. Baghin Nullah littered for the second time in December 2009, with three cubs – 1 male and 2 females, fathered by BMW. BadiMaa delivered her fourth litter in September 2010, fathered by BMW. The male and the female grew up in the south side of the park, around the Piyorthadi area. Collarwali delivered her 3rdlitter in October 2010; after she mated with Raiyyakassa to deliver a whopping 5 cubs – 4 females and 1 male; something that was never heard of in wild. Bearing 5 cubs is a feat that can be achieved by only a tigress in the prime of her health with access to the best prey. The 4 females and 1 male from that litter separated in Jan 2012. One of the females of this litter known as Pahad-Dev or Patdev is still active in one area of the park, with a new litter as of Dec 2019. Another female of this Collarwali’s litter was shifted to Panna in Jan 2014. Meanwhile Raiyyakassa’s dominion remained unchallenged and he still owned a vast territory unlike that of any other male. He dominated the territory by regularly patrolling it and keeping the mighty BMW out of his way, and by not allowing any other male to take over. Baghin Nullah too littered for the third time in November 2011 to two males and one female in the Junewani area. BadiMaa delivered her fifth and last litter in March 2012, fathered by BMW. Unfortunately, BadiMaa succumbed to a snake bite in May 2012. It is believed that out of the 19 cubs that she delivered, 12 reached subadulthood, a feat that would later be broken by her own daughter. BadiMaa spawned Pench into a tiger cradle and she will be remembered as the great grand matriarch. Collarwali delivered her 4thlitter in May 2012. 3 cubs were born - 1 male and 2 females. One of the female cubs died in April 2013, around the Bijamatta area. Baghin Nullah subsequently delivered 4 cubs in August 2013 for the 4th time and 4 cubs for the 5th and last time in September 2015. Unfortunately, BaghinNala died in March 2016, along with her three cubs due to poisoning of a water hole by the locals. The lone surviving cub was translocated to Kanha National Park. Collarwali also littered subsequently in October 2013, the 5th litter consisting of 3 males. Tourism increased and the tigers were easily tracked. One of the males was named Chotu and another was named Chota Charger, on account of his mock charging attitude. Chota Charger died in the mid 2016s. The 6thlitter was in March 2015 and consisted of 2 males and 2 females. The 2 females known as C1 and C2 remained in the mother’s territory for a long time before they vanished eventually. Then came the 7th litter with 4 cubs in December 2016 and finally the current 8th littercomprising of 3 cubs in around April 2018. Collarwali had given birth to a total of 26 cubs, of which atleast 22 cubs survived infancy, raising them to subadult stage. Raiyyakassa and Collarwali alone had sired 19 tigers in 6 litters unlike any other tiger mates. BMW was ousted out of his territory by an unknown male, probably one of his own sons. He was reported to have been sighted in the buffer areas, but nothing more is known about one of the great contributors of Pench. Raiyyakassa too faced a formidable opponent in the form of BMW’s son from previous litter (perhaps of Baghin Nullah). This male was documented for the first time in Bijamatta area in March 2015 had the same robust build as BMW and had been seen on and off. Before the closing of the park for monsoons, in June 2018, Raiyyakassa was seen bleeding and with a cut on his nose. It seemed that his reign was almost over, overthrown by this new male (Challenger). I was worried that the ageing Raiyyakassa would be killed in the monsoons, but he was seen once the park reopened in October 2018. However, the last nail in the coffin to Raiyyakassa’s supremacy happened in mid-October 2018, when Challenger fought off Raiyyakassa. Raiyyakassa was exiled from his territory and he seemed to have taken recluse, by crossing over to the other side of Pench river, into Maharashtra where he was sighted on and off. As I write this article, the news is that Raiyyakassa has re-entered Pench, into Langdi and Collarwali territory. Challenger hadn’t been seen but it would be interesting to see how Langdi’s subadult cubs (3 males) who are on the verge of separation and giving a hard time for Collarwali, would tolerate Raiyyakassa. Collarwali had the best hunting strike rate, to feed more hungry stomachs at regular intervals. This coupled with her premeditated absence from the cubs, forcing them to survive off their own, and leaving them around 16-20 months (most tigresses raise the cubs for around 24 months) to fend on their own, added to the very robust builds that she inherited from her mother and passed on to the next generations, made her the greatest mother, the tiger world had seen. Photographed is Collarwali, on a cold winter morning. It is interesting to note that she hasn’t made a kill in over 5 days and on top, she’s injured. Despite that, notice the sturdiness of this tiger built like a male – the skull and the shoulder-lines, and no wonder did she deliver a record 8 litters, raising most of them through subadulthood.

Shivanzari male is about to hit his prime soon, he has one more year to go. can Matkasur deal with him? fingers crossed. also it looks like his brother who’s mostly confined to Madnapur is also active around Kolara gate now. today both the brothers were spotted around Kolara gate together and almost got into a fight over Maya.
