I read somewhere that Matkasur had once attacked a person probably because he mistake the human for a monkey.
Anyone know how that incident concluded? What happened to the person? How did they save him from Matkasur?

Well, how did they recover the body? Did Matkasur eat some of it at least? Link doesn't click btw (06-14-2021, 03:29 PM)ganidat Wrote: Well, how did they recover the body? Did Matkasur eat some of it at least? During a moonlight machaan census there were 3 people making note of animal count at a water-hole. One of them got down to nature's call & Matka just happened to be there. Whether he'd eaten the man is not consequential. As per Indian protocol, a tiger is given 3 chances. After which it is branded a repeat offender who's used to killing humans (&is likely to kill more if situation arises). Ustad of Ranthambore was one such case.

Ustad of Ranthambore was one such case. hello Rish Interesting this protocol, please give more details. I wonder if it's something rigid, like every tiger can kill up to 3 people before being eliminated/removed or the circumstantial situation caused by a successful attack can also be enough to take drastic action. With the exception of tigers that move in the core of the reserves, the vast majority of them have some form of contact with humans and, very few, become man-eaters. "With spaces being reduced, human populations on the rise, prey poaching, climate pressure, in keeping with the ecology of tigers and their natural survival challenges, the outlook is for conflicts to increase over time." Removals are expensive and their results questionable. It's a difficult decision: wait for a new attack or take a preemptive decision. When killing a human, many questions are revealed as predictors. Ustad "lost patience with intense human harassment"-stress shaped his behavior?. (06-15-2021, 03:53 AM)Matias Wrote:(06-14-2021, 09:44 PM)Rishi Wrote: Whether he'd eaten the man is not consequential.

Ustad of Ranthambore was one such case. The older notion of tigers getting addicted to human flesh (as if we're made of cocaine) turned out to be false, as there have been several cases reported over the years that tigers killed & partially eaten a man.. but then never repeated. Man-eaters probably don't exist. There are just tigers who have lost their taboo about engaging people. A 2nd chance & another one is given, but no more. If further attacks happen by the same animal, whatever the reason, then you cannot risk it. We have more than thousand tigers living in our forests sharing the land with humans, but ever few years there's a conflict animal or two. Tigers have varied personalities, some of them just are like that. It's safer to just eliminate them ASAP & bring back normalcy in the region. PS: Same went for Ustad. If one out of 50 tigers living in the same area has a human-killing problem, then the problem lies with it only.
News out of Bandhavgarh:
Spotty who has two 16 month olds was injured (most likely by a male). The forest department darted with antibiotics and pain killers. She was still seen limping with a slight walk: Neeraj and Ravi both came upon a tiger in Gopalpur Tala where no tiger has been sighted in over a decade. Sitting in algae waters (which changes colour every morning and evening) was none other than Bheem. @Rage2277, Bandhavgarh did an internal census and found that Patorwala has 12 cubs (6 more than any other zone). The male you call Muditara male was called Patorwala male on another video. @Pckts You can see Bheem is limping in the video. It is from the winter. The naturalist, Mohan Chandra Joshi says he has been fighting with Bamerason as both of them have been sighted in the same waterhole. I am guessing we have our answer as to who injured Bamerason. Skip to 2:30 on the video. (06-15-2021, 07:07 PM)Ashutosh Wrote: News out of Bandhavgarh: wonder if muditara is father of tara's cubs and tara's sis the new damdama female
@Rage2277, Tara was Bheem’s mate when Pannalal tried mating with her. Bheem then took Pannalal out. She has always been in Khitauli. Her cubs are 7 months old. Timeline is unclear whether the cubs are Bheem’s or Chota Bheem’s as she was seen mock mating with Chota Bheem in December whereas Bheem left Khitauli in November. The cubs were conceived in July-August, so the father is one of them.
Damdama female was in Bheem’s territory of Khitauli as well. Her litter is most likely fathered by Bheem. Recently, she left Damdama canal as Chota Bheem came looking. Next, she stashed her cubs away and was photographed snarling at Chota Bheem. If he finds the cubs, he will probably kill them. Muditara or Patorwala’s territory is on a different side of the park. At one point his territory’s boundary was edge of Tala. (06-15-2021, 10:38 PM)Ashutosh Wrote: @Rage2277, Tara was Bheem’s mate when Pannalal tried mating with her. Bheem then took Pannalal out.

@Rage2277, Damdama bacchi or Chattaipat female. She is old Damdama female’s daughter. She has 2 cubs. Here she is in Khitauli:
Here is Chota Bheem inspecting the Damdama Nala: Also, here is Tara with her 4 cubs from early March: I think this is her warning him: I am guessing both were Bheem’s mates but not the old Damdama female. Chota Bheem is most definitely Tara’s mate now. |
