There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I'd like to see how he sizes up with Matka, I'm assuming both are the same body frame at this stage but Matka is still got mass on him for sure.

Appealing to us in its mystery and it's beauty, the Tiger is a killing machine and the apex hunter in its world. Just look at the size of the head and it's paws!

One of the most iconic and dominant male tigers. This handsome tiger completely changed my liking towards him, the moment I saw him walk with an understated arrogance into his kingdom. Each time I've seen him, he's confirmed his presence about half an hour before his appearance by roaring, followed by a long walk and then with all the theatricality in place..... He walks out!!

Samarth Sriram
The ghost of mukki.

Usually when we least expect a tiger sighting to happen, it happens. Same was the case with this sighting. On our 3rd morning Safari in Kanha National park last November, we were headed to kisli zone.

Since we stayed at mukki, we would have to travel through a particular road inside mukki to reach kisli. So thinking that we could spend some time in a waterhole popular for tiger sightings, we decided to reach that place as early as possible. We were the second vehicle to enter the jungle.

Since the kisli main road passes through mukki zone, there is a good possibility that you can encounter a tiger while traveling to kisli.

When we reached our desired waterhole, we waited for a while to hear any calls, if any. None for our luck, we decided to move ahead. After traveling about 300 metres, the vehicle ahead of us were giving signals that there is a tiger walking head on, there she was, dhawajhandi female aka T27 and her cub walking towards our jeep.

After this sighting, we were forced to leave mukki and go to kisli, as we were booked in kisli. We crossed the zila line and reached chimta camp, there we got news that a female tigress had been seen very close to the kisli gate, hearing this we thought that we are in for a 3rd tiger.

Reaching the kisli gate, we waited for a while near a waterhole for any movement, but again, none. We had our breakfast and continued our journey for the search of the majestic beast.

After roaming in kisli for 20 mins, we left to mukki, thinking that we could spend some more time to search for bolder tigers there.

On reaching the zila line, we got news that umarpani male had been seen at a place very close to dhawajhandi female's sighting. Hearing this, we rushed to a spot where he could probably come out.

After waiting for a few minutes, we could see some movement happening in the bushes, it was really a tail of a tiger.

After another 2-4 minutes of silence, a tiger came out of the bushes walking straight towards our jeep. The third tiger of this particular Safari. And my 100th tiger sighting. A very memorable one

I would like to thank Mr David Raju for this sighting.

Comparing Bheem to Umarpani...
  • bitter147
    Fantastic. Just had the good fortune of photographing Bheema from Bandhavgarh. He is of comparable size....
  • jitendergovindani
    @bitter147 yes someone very close in size to Umarpani

This photographer has seen both Bheem and Umarpani crossing the road infront of him as well, he's definitely one of the Lucky ones who can compare both.

I was told he was even bigger than Umarpani by a Norwegian photagrapher who had seen both. So he must be big for sure!

I don't doubt it, Mangu, Bheem and Pannalal, Mamu and Mr. X in the 2nd tier and a few good looking youngsters up and coming and many new cubs running around....
Bandhavgarh's genes are in good hands.
