Name : T6 = Semli = Romeo
Location : Ranthambore National Park Year of Birth : 2004 Ancestry : Son of X male (T2) and T5 tigress Status : Live Sex : Male Species : panthera tigris tigris Born to father Big Daddy (T2) and mother T5, the Kachida female, Semli grew up in a well-known tiger family. Together with his brother (T7) and sister (T8 or Balas female) he was raised in the Kachida valley of the park. Semli and his father got along well and were often seen sharing their kills with each other, especially as his father aged. After Semli and his brother separated from their mother, they stayed together at the fringes of Machali's territory – establishing a small territory of his own with Semli alley at its heart. Soon after he was seen mating with the young Laila female (T41) in the Semli and Berda valley. He has since been expanding his territory to encroach into Adidant and Lakkarda valley, bringing him into conflict with Ranthambhore matriarch Machali for her meals. Currently Semli is facing troubles from T25.  *This image is copyright of its original author
Name : Naak Kata
Location : Kanha National Park Year of Birth : Unknown Ancestry : Unknown (Some say he is from Saddam Hussain Lineage) Status : Live Sex : Male Species : panthera tigris tigris Despite being one of the largest and more mature tigers in the range, Naak Kata remains wary of vehicles and prefers secluded areas of his territory. That said, he has maintained a very large territory, and is clearly not afraid to defend it. He is an easily distinguishable tiger due to the large scar he carries on his nose. In fact Nak kata means cut nose. He held a very imposing figure due to his sheer size and used this attribute to control a very large territory, which encompassed Kanhari Camp, Digdola, Sarhi, Bihlwani, Neelamullah and Link 7. He has fathered many cubs over the last decade. In the early days he had alot of frequent battles with Munna. But in most of the battles Naak katta lost against Munna. In October 2009 they had a big fight and Naak katta was injured and got is nose cut, after healing Naak kata again picked a fight with Munna and got injured in June 2010.  *This image is copyright of its original author
Name : T17 = Satra = Sundari
Location : Ranthambore National Park Year of Birth : October 2006 Ancestry : Daughter of X male (T2) and Machali (T16) tigress Status : Went missing during April 2013, could be dead. Sex : Female Species : panthera tigris tigris Satra was born to X male and Machali, the litter had three female cubs namely Satra, Athara and Unnis. Satra was the dominant one in the litter. By December 2007 Satra started exploring for territory and started hunting by herself. In the early 2008 she established a small territory around the base of the Ranthambore Fort, while her two sisters were still living with their mother. Satra became totally independent at the end of the summer of 2008. Initially Satra was selected for the relocation to Sariska and she was fitted with a radicollar, but due to some reasons it didn’t work out, so finally the radio collar was removed in November 2011. During the winter of 2008, Satra had plans of expanding her territory. This resulted in challenging Machali for her territory. This war of succession ended in Satra’s favour, after Machali left the lake and moved to Lakkarda. Soon Satra took over most of Machali’s territory except for two small parts, Lakkarda --> which was left for her mother. Mandoop --> which her sister Unnis took over. Her third sister Athara established her territory in the Phoota Kot area, when she was relocated to Sariska Since then, Satra has been ruling the area of the lakes and an impressively large adjoining territory. She was not shy of vehicles and often gets very close to them and use them as cover for hunting. We've often seen Satra mate with one of four different males, but she showed no signs of bearing a litter. She always shared her territory with three different males (T12, T25 and Sitara earlier, and then Sultanpur, following T12's move to Sariska) and it may be a case of tiger politics that she has deliberately not had cubs. During early summer 2011, Satra started expanding into the Kachida valley after the dominant female there (T5) died. Satra had one of the largest territories among the females in Ranthambhore National Park - a territory rivalled in size only by that of her sister Unnis. In May 2012 she had three cubs sired by Dollar male. The cubs were shown to the world during June 2012. At the end of December 2012 Satra had a serious fight with Star male to protect her cubs and a kill. Unfortunately she was very badly injured and required medical attention from the park’s veterinarians. Later she moved her cubs to Dollar male’s territory for protection. As of April 2013 Satra is been missing and thought to be dead  *This image is copyright of its original author 
Hi All,
Absolutely thrilled to know that some of my images (T-57, New Male series) are already in this fantastic thread ! My maiden contribution to this thread is of Bahadur (T-3) from Ranthambhore.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Father : "X" Male or T-2 Mother : Machli (T-16) Born : 2005/06 Sibling : T-1 female who is in Sariska now Mate : Husnaara (T-30) Status : Alive & resides outside the tourism zone. Offsprings : Females T-69 & T-70, Male T-71, all of whom were born in Mid-2011. All these images are from my archives of 2007/08 season when this bloke was a strapping young lad around the Lakkarda, Rajbag & Jhalra areas. It's a shame tourists do not get access to the area he resides in these days. Cheers !

But unfortunately he died, the reason could be either poisoning or territorial battle.

"This was the best sighting of Namdev at Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, India.
It was a memorable experience to come up-close with this beautiful tiger. I ended up with over 100 images of Namdev. He was extremely curious and didn't shy away from showcasing his amazing presence. Enjoy these 14 mesmerising pictures of Namdev. He's one of the rarest tigers of Tadoba. © ANJAN LAL" https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=...=1&theater Check this guy out, he is quoted by eye witnesses as being a "very large tiger" You can see his frame is very large. He killed the father of law of a Forrest Gaurd. "Massive Male Tiger "Namdev" at Jamni Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, India © ANJAN LAL"Anjan Lal "Not new he is an old chap and is known to have killed a villager inside the tiger reserve. He thereafter became Namdev and is the main territorial tiger of Mutkasur and Zhari areas at Tadoba range. It was a dream come true to see hims giving a full 45 minute sighting at Jamni Chowk. I just admire his personality!" Ill post images tomorrow. (07-21-2014, 09:35 PM)'Pckts' Wrote: Who was there before Machli? I know Ranthambhore tigers are translocated tigers originally, correct? There were several prominent Tigers before Machli (T-16) including her mother the original Machli or the Lady of the Lakes (with Fish / Gill like facial markings), Noon, Padmini, Laxmi, Broken Tooth, Akbar, Hamir, Babar, Lakshmi, Kublai, Genghis etc and all of them were documented by the late Fateh Singh Rathore & Valmik Thapar during the late-70s, 80s & 90s. While Tigers of Ranthambhore were never introduced or relocated from other landscapes, fossil studies conducted by Dr.ADT John Singh as well evolutionary data suggests that the Tigers found their own way from the Satpura landscape to parts of Rajasthan since natural corridors during those times were mostly inviolate. As far as physical attributes of Tigers from different landscapes is concerned, if we talk of Ranthambhore, while Star Male (T-28) is taller & longer than most males & Fateh (T-42) is arguably the heavier one, pitting them against each other is highly subjective. My two cents ! (08-10-2014, 02:46 AM)'Pantherinae' Wrote: Hi @ApolloT-10 was born in the 1st litter of Tigress Mallika (T-9) of Dhunderwal Darrah area (out of tourism zone), in 2004. His sibling, Female T-11, still resides in & around her mother's area and is the mate of T-33, the dominant male there. His father was X Male or the Chiroli male (T-2). T-10 was translocated to Sariska in June 2008 & given ID of ST-1. He died in November 2010 due to poisoning by villagers (revenge killing) since he preyed only on Cattle. The forest department had famously proclaimed cause of death to be in-fighting but the Autopsy report nailed the reason as poisoning after finding traces of Organophosphurus insecticide in the viscera. Interestingly, despite being radio-collared (like all other Tigers of Sariska), the monitoring team had not tracked him for almost a month leading to his death. |
