Natraj seems to be moving heavily in Kolsa core area similar to C1 and SK. Shiva will probably end up losing his territory to the younger males in their prime. tfs!

Definitely some interesting time ahead, pressure be on Shiva now, I doubt he can handle it like he used to...Hopefully we can see some interactions between them

The story between Rudra, CM, Tala and Matkasaur--- how matkasaur falls and Rudra comes on top----check this post's description!


edit: in case the above post got deleted:
Rudra is one of the most dominant Male Tigers from Tadoba National Park, the tiger who claimed Matkasur's territory very strategically
✨?
When Rudra entered Matkasur's territory, Matkasur was already engaged in a territorial fight with his own son ' Chota Matka '
?✨
Rudra determined that Matkasur was a greater threat than Chota Matka so he avoided conflict with Chota Matka and engaged in fights with exhausted Matkasur. Matkasur was a strong tiger and Rudra and Chota Matka were unable to drive him away
✨?
Things changed when Rudra's brother ' Tala ' joined them and Matkasur was now facing three young tigers simultaneously. The mighty Matkasur finally decided to back away and then the brothers Rudra and Tala focused their attention to ' Chota Matka ' and pushed him out of the territory
?✨
Finally the two brothers fought for the territory with Rudra coming on top but divided Matkasur's huge territory.

Mogli was seen suddenly and was mating with Maya according to the description... im not too sure if Mogli took part of Balram and Rudra's territory but since Balram won the confrontation against Rudra, we can speculate that Mogli took advantage of this situation and won Maya over. Maya also has a lone cub right now, not sure how she is doing

edit: Rudra had indeed had a skimmish with Mogli

DJ and one of her only male cub out of the 5 cubs as of now, what stands out from her other cubs is that he follows DJ almost everywhere,  even during te times when he should have stayed in hiding spots


Balram, i speculate this is before his clash with Rudra and Mogli


ranthombore male, cant identify who this male is but from the looks of the skull, he seems like a sub-adult


Rudra healing up but still looks pretty roughed up

trishul male, pench


T85, pench


T112/ Jam/ Kanav, who is the son of Krishna, is currently around 5.5 yr old


T120 and arrowhead crossing paths. Arrowhead chose to be submissive to show that she has no cubs nearby but T120 was not in the mood of mating


the famous Kurigaid male from pench


D1, who is the son of the first litter of Dotty and around 5 yrs old, with Dharra Bacchi as his mate:


Taru


The beefy Baisanghat male on 4/4, note that there is an error on the name posted that was later corrected

*This image is copyright of its original author


----Let's talk about T58----
The famous T58/ Rocky of RTR was once the most dominent male of Ranthombore, ruling parts of zone 6, 7, 8 and 10 of RTR. Here he is during mid 2021


Back in 2019, T58 triumphed over his brother T57 when fighting over Noor, and occupied a considerable amt of area after that :




and quickly seiged zone 10 where it was previously T42/Fateh's, after his dissapearance in late 2019,
and ousted T34/ Kumbha from his territory when his health deteriorates from old age in mid 2020.

But he is getting old, and has since left zone 6 and zone 10 , because of the younger competitor Jai (T108). Jai may also be the one who drove Fateh/ T42 away from zone 10
Jai, who is around 6.5 yr old here i believe, on 31/3. his mother is T8, aka Laadli

*This image is copyright of its original author

it is perhaps still somewhat early to say that the reign of T58 is ending, but we are getting there. Afterall, few can escape the fate of Kumbha ---either perish early or blend into the surrounding too well and eventually dissapear without a trace.
