Name : T-25 = Dollar male = Zalim
Location : Ranthambore National Park Year of Birth : 2008 Ancestry : Son of Jhumroo(T-20) and Lahpur-Nagditigress (T-22), Brother of T-24 and Indala Status : RIP Sex : Male Species : panthera tigris tigris Dollar, as the name given to this male tiger owing to the $ (Dollar) shape on his right flank stripe pattern has really amazed the tiger lovers. The story of Dollar is very interesting and is the most peculiar character in Ranthambore. First of all, his majestic appearance in front of the visitors; and once the reputation goes, he particularly does not enjoy the human presence and chases the vehicles out of rage if he is not in the mood to interact with them. Preferably, T-25 has marked his territory far in the forest and due to the ferocity with which he tries to usurp the territory of other tigers; is also being called Zalim (in Hindi that means grievous). People have found him chasing the vehicles, growling and ready to attack. Being typical of the nature of a male tiger, Dollar's behavior and territorial aggression remained consistent but his recent behavior has really amazed everyone. From last year, Dollar has been found with two female cubs who were orphaned last February (2011) when their mother T-5 succumbed to intestinal illness and died in the hilly Kachida region at the northwest corner of the reserve. T-25 surprisingly is not only protecting these cubs but also playing the role of mother to these two. That's quite amazing to the male tiger's nature who otherwise commonly seen as a threat to the cubs. Over the last year, he has turned quite softer too and is hardly 'Zalim' any longer, the name that he acquired a couple of years ago by the observers.  *This image is copyright of its original author T25 aka Zalim aka Dollar male is reported dead yesterday by the Ranthambore forest officials. He was the brother of T24 aka Ustaad aka Sultanpur. T25 was famously known for raising his cubs by himself after the death of their mother. Cause of death is unclear.

@Apollo, T25 aka Zalim died because of territorial disputes and an autopsy revealed that his skull bone was crushed and there were canine marks on his body.

Thanks @Ashutosh
T25 Aka Dollar was a special tiger, RIP. it’s only gonna get worse for Ranthambore tigers in the next 5 years or so. no room for tigers to move around anymore. the park is at full capacity, which means more violent fights. normally tigers tend to avoid serious conflict and will try to find a different home but when the space is limited. extreme measures are taken. we saw this in Bandipur, Kanha (Mukki) and Corbett. Tadoba is also headed that direction, except tigers their have found the lost corridors that links them to Nagzira, Umred and Brahmapuri forest division. Infact, the dominant males of Nagzira and Umred Karhandla are all originally from Tadoba.

In an evening of March,18 in tourist season, a subadult individual was seen playing with a Bisleri Plastic Bottle near a watch tower of Kaziranga national park in central range. He was unaware of our presence and walked fearlessly very near to the watch tower, and i had to retract the zoom in my lens.
