Tigers of Central India

[Rishi]

Introduction to the Satkosia Tiger Reserve. With camera-friendly individuals being shifted there, it'll soon be on India's safari map.

The Satkosia Gorge on the banks of Mahanadi river has intact corridors with the Simlipal Tiger Reserve to its Northeast & lies in the centre of a vast forest complex. It has been recognised as a part of the Central Indian Tiger Landscape despite lying on the Eastern Ghats, as the great basins of the rivers Godavari & Krishna bifurcate the range, completely separating the north from south.

?. Anybody who has seen a wild Tiger cannot get enough of it as such is the aura of this majestic beast. Here is the heartthrob of Bandhavgarh fondly nicknamed as Spotty walking towards our vehicle l!! I had seen her exactly a year ago on dis day with her cubs and she has only gotten more beautiful

I may have seen around 100 tigers in the wild so far, but yet my heart still skips a beat when a Tiger showsup. Long live the Tigers

We have a good news ! The tigers translocated in Nauradehi , firstly a female from Kanha and Male from Bandhavgarh , were seen exploring the jungle and each other tooo ! It is also important to make you all aware that the female was rescued from Pench when her mother and siblings died in a poisoning incidence .

@Pckts @Roflcopters Yes. I don't know who the father was, but she (Radha) is indeed Baghin nala's daughter from her last litter... 
Is the above image from Nauradehi? Then it should be their first official sighting!

Yesterday the prescheduled translocation of a tigress to Nauradehi Wildlife Sanctuary was completed successfully. She was rescued from Pench Tiger Reserve at an age of less then 6 months, after death of her mother (Baghin Nala female) by poisoning and was nurtured in the Ghorella enclosure at Mukki range of Kanha Tiger Reserve.
Tigers cubs learn to hunt by observing their mothers, but this one was deprived of such training. She was raised in semi-wild and under a special mechanism herbivores were sent in the chain-link fenced area and her hunting efficiency was regularly monitored. Now, the tigress is capable enough to find her own prey!

Nauradehi is biggest wildlife sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh and suitable as tiger habitat. It has a unique landscape with adequate prey, inviolate forest cover and less human disturbance; all favourable for tiger a reintroduction project. Keeping that in mind, successful translocation of herds of Cheetal was also carried out a few months back, to develop preybase before tiger's arrival.

Field Director of Kanha Tiger Reserve, Sanjay Kumar Shukla informed that translocation of tigress was carried out under the "Tiger Reintroduction Programme and development of new tiger habitat" in the State.
From tranquillising the wild cat and releasing it in the wild, the entire procedure headed by Mradul Pathak, Field Director of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve with contribution of several more employees of Kanha and Bandhavgarh. It went smoothly under the watchful supervision of veterinarians of Kanha and Pench Tiger Reserves.
