You're right, it seems like this year has many youngsters coming right into their prime as well.

Speaking of new faces, heres another shot of Bajrang

the biggest male of Kolsa, Tadoba.  T55/Kankatya the ruler of Kasarbodi area. (feb/2016) 

T55 is stoic and composed, constantly appearing emotionless and indifferent to most events. An expert in his craft, T55 shows great confidence and fortitude in any challenge presented before him. T55 also seems to be confident in his abilities. showing a very no-nonsense attitude, he is straight to the point and speaks no more than necessary. To which, T55 will carry out his contracts, no matter whom his targets may be, nor can he be bribed or convince to turn away from the assignment. More to his unwavering commitment and resolve, even when at a disadvantage, T55 refuses to back down from the challenge. choosing to face any opponent that crosses his path. Against one he is not required to kill, he will show mercy, offering his opponents a chance to surrender and use no more strength than absolutely necessary.

The innocent-faced Tiger :
This young Male we call Bhola, was from the 2012 litter of Badi Mada (2012 litter sired by Thin Stripe Male). While he spent the initial part of his childhood with his sibling at Minkur, his sightings were few & far between 2014. It was the period when Choti Mada was sighted frequently at the Baba Thenga Talao along with 4 cubs.
However, upon closer examination of the Baba Thenga litter, we were pleasantly surprised to note that a female cub of the Baba Thenga litter (Dhawajhandi’s sister) was apparently missing while Bhola had taken her place in the family! Choti Mada raising her little half-brother along with her own cubs was indeed a revelation in the annals of social interaction between Tigers.
Although Bhola hasn’t been sighted in tourism areas from End-2015 onwards, we can only hope he stepped into adulthood & is alive somewhere out there.
Thanks Vijayarajan bhai

Meet MP-KTR-T 67 we call Dhamangaon Male (for reference purposes), arguably a new entrant to tourism areas. This young lad is widely believed to be the son of Karai Ghati Male (T-2) & Karai Ghati Female (Budbudi's sister).

While he has been camera-trapped by the Forest Department quite frequently in the past, it is only in the last few weeks that he has been sighted by tourists on a few occasions.

T-67 Male, 19th December 2016, Kisli Zone, KTR.

Munna.. Male Tiger

Road Block : Sharing image of a massive male tiger named Munna (Its not an official name) from Kisli Zone of Kanha National Park. He is probably around 14 years old (quite old for a wild tiger). By the time we realised that he is directly heading to cross the road in front our our jeep, he was already on the road. I was using 7D MK II with 300 MM prime lens and suddenly realised that i could see only head of the tiger in the frame.
Fortunately (would rather say from similar mistakes / experience in past at Tadoba Tiger reserve) had kept a spare camera, 600D with 70-200 MM lens switched ON. Even at 70 MM, tiger is hardly fitting in the frame.
Exif: Canon 7D MKII + 70-200 F/2.8 IS II lens
F/2.8, IS0 200, Shutter speed 1/800 (better setting would be F /5.6, to get better detail on the tiger as it was very close. May be next time)

In my opinion Bandhavgarh has the best looking tigers in Central India.
They usually have a ruff around their neck and their build is a very dense and muscular cat. I'm not sure if they are the longest tigers but they usually seem very tall and thick.
