You really couldn’t seperate Mukhtar/Tarzan from Bheem to Karai Ghati. Where people perceive Kanha has more such males is simply a matter of population. Kanha has 140 tigers, Pench on the other hand has 85. Of course more such males will come from Kanha than Pench. Also, Pench does have Gaur, just not as many as Tadoba or Satpura. pench might have some kanha influence aswell in recent times i've seen some that look like tigers from the kisli/mukki lines 
I was searching for photos of Bheem from Bandhavgarh and noticed the results were all dated. How is Bheem doing?
@tigerluver, Bheem is in Magdhi part of his previous massive territory. Chota Bheem pushed him out from Khitauli and he moved inwards towards Magdhi core and in the process lost his Dhamokar buffer as well. This happened in September-October last year. He is well. Seen time to time.
I don’t know if Dhamokar female’s litter fathered by Bheem is still alive. The Darraha female is raising his litter, though. He is 12, but still looks decent. Here he is:
@Rage2277, to be fair, before humans fragmented this whole landscape, the tigers would have moved around easily within any Central Indian landscape.
Consider this: Panna had 0 tigers in 2009. By 2018, the population there had already contributed to 6 different tigers moving to 6 different habitats all in different directions and it is still ongoing. As Karanth said, India’s challenge isn’t saving the tiger anymore. It’s saving it’s gene pool by connecting different landscapes. 
well said @Ashutosh
traveling happens a lot often than most people have knowledge of and it’s sad because we’re slowly losing battle for corridors and connectivity from park to park. still, we have found tigers that ended up finding alternatives to reach from destination A to B. I have always been amazed to say the least, risk factors are huge. how they go above and beyond avoiding all conflict and obstacles in the way itself is a legendary feat on its own. I wish we had actual documentaries that shed light on some of this.

Bamerason aka MrX was injured heavily in a clash with an unknown male. He was shifted to the treatment centre inside Bandhavgarh and there were murmurs that he wouldn’t be released. I am glad forest department decided to let him out:
On a side note, the treatment centre looks like a verandah of someone. Why is there a plug point behind him?

@Pckts, Bamerason is out but the more important question is who has taken over his territory in Magdhi? Samode Lodge is in the buffer zone right next to Dhamokar buffer, so, he is clearly not back to his old territory. Do you know who has taken over his old territory and most probably injured him in the process?

So at least he’s able to still hunt successfully after the injury and subsequent capture. |
