Meet the Two ‘Jailed’ Tigers of Bandhavgarh National Park
Born to the same mother (T 19, a female tiger, and her mate, T 22.) in the 2012 in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve; tiger- T 25 and T 26 are now being separated and to be transferred to different places. In 2014, both the Tigers were restricted to the Bahera enclosure as they killed four local villagers in Khitouli area. This is the image of T25  *This image is copyright of its original author This is the image of T26  *This image is copyright of its original author For four years, authorities were doing a rigorous study about their behavior, and now they have finally decided to relocate them. T-25, who is having a very aggressive nature and is not at all afraid of human interference, was sent to Van Vihar National Park in Bhopal. On the contrary, tiger – T-26, who is rather shy and avoid humans, a trait of a wild tiger, will be released in Sanjay Tiger Reserve by the first week of July. On the issue of translocation, K Raman, field director of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, said to media, “After experts from National Tiger Conservation of India (NTCA) and Wildlife Institute of India also came to study them here, we sought permission from NTCA for their translocation. We sought permission for shifting T25 to Van Vihar National Park Bhopal and in the case of T26, permission for its translocation to Sanjay Tiger Reserve.” In fact for T-26, NTCA had also asked for a proper survey of the prey base before setting the animal free. And for monitoring, a radio collar will be given to T-26. Ram further said that T-25 had been successfully relocated in Bhopal and called as Bandhu
T28 aka Star male aka Sitara is not well
Sitara (T-28) had been keeping unwell for some time. Off lately, when the guards of the Ranthambore National Park were patrolling, Sitara was found in an unconscious condition. The guards immediately cried out for veterinarian help , and it soon emerges that the poor tiger has nasty wounds on its leg, and tail, which were further bugged by insect bites. Immediately, the veterinarian used the tranquilizer gun to remove the insects and subdue the tiger. After the operation and meditation course, the T28 gained consciousness. Currently, T-28 is doing fine but still in the recovery process. According to the forest authorities, the reason behind the wounds of T-28 is the fight that happened between him and Pacman, the new young tiger of Ranthambore National Park. I think it is possible that T28 could have been weighed, if anyone can contact and get the weight would be nice.

Poor old man, he lived a good life but this is the natural course of things. I wish him well and hopefully somebody can obtain a weight and health status for him.
WOW!!
Amazing video and what an experience, although I doubt they felt like that at the moment. She must of had cubs around, I wonder who it was?

The cub seems HUGE for sure, but reports of Sharmili being as big as an average Indian Male are wide of the mark. I saw her in 2014 (on a hunt!) and she's actually quite a small framed tigress but really beautiful with very muscular front limbs. Maya and Madhuri from Tadoba are easily bigger than her I have more than 200 images of her and I can send you photos from all angles if you want to add her to this directory (if you haven't already). I also have a lot of images of the Male near Ghairal Guest House who attacked a guard in 2014. He was a huuge boy even though he was just a sub-adult at the time. The guides and regulars there were saying "ye Khali ka baap banega!" - Rough Translation - "Khali's gonna seem small when this guy grows up" Attached a photo of her showing her small frame and huge muscles!

Do you have any pics of Ghairal male tiger which you took and whats his current status ? I knew ghairal subadult male was a large specimen, but I dont no his current status. Whats your opinion on male tiger sizes from different parks ? Which is the biggest tiger you've seen ?

Wagdoh was a massive one! (although he was on a very empty stomach at the time). He was a LOT taller than I expected. The tallest I've seen easily. He seemed short and ridiculously fat in most photos, I guess the fat works against him in photos and makes him seem short. He was almost skinny when I saw him! The one tiger that literally made my jaw drop was Prince from Bandipur. HUGE and built like a tank! Overall the most impressive tiger I've seen for sure. Having said that, I saw Wagdoh in a very sad state, I'm sure he'd seem a lot bigger after a good meal! Planning to go to Corbett, Kanha, Kabini and Tadoba this year and hopefully I'll have a lot more comparisons to make after some trips! I've attached some photos of the Ghairal Male. Apparently he hasn't been sighted for a while although apparently still alive and in Durgadevi Zone of Corbett (no idea where that is) |
