@Ashutosh yes this was from last year. I saw it only today.perhaps he was saying them Siberian as they have coats of Siberian and live in snow conditions. But I agree he should get awareness about tigers. Nevertheless atleast after criticism, he should have removed the tweet is what I feel.

Did he tweet this today? Because this came out last year. Plus, the Mishmi tribe have been living with the tigers for centuries and have their life philosophies based around the interaction with tigers.

Since some media outlets came up with headlines like "Snow tigers caught on camera in Arunachal" he (or his Tweeter handler) may have gotten it wrong.
Not everybody is well aware of these things, most like just googled before writing the post. Huh

Fully adult problem tiger relocated to Manas from a human settlement in Shivasagar district near Kaziranga after killing 2 people, captured & recaptured in subsequent census.

The radio collar, to fall off after battery dies, was fitted by the International Fund for Animal Welfare-Wildlife Trust of India (IFAW-WTI).

Great pictures @parvez, the last one has an abnormally small head or a massive body. Either way, that is an impressive tiger. Any names or specifically numbers on these individuals?

That’s alright, @parvez. No need to stress yourself. I was just curious about the last one. Thanks for the picture, though.

This was my first ever wild tiger. In the flesh. We were sitting in a Jeep in Kaziranga National Park, watching some chital and one horned rhino across the river, when for some inexplicable reason I turned my head to look up the road. And there he stood. My heart skipped a beat, in fact I think it skipped several beats - and my breath was so caught in my chest I managed a half whispered half exasperated TIGER! He was looking straight at us, and though he was far away I could tell by his body language that he was uneasy and was not going to stand there for long! We fumbled to get the camera out and I couldn’t keep the lens steady enough to get a clear picture, couldn’t focus on him long enough through the lens because I didn’t want to miss him for a split second in real life. I was caught off guard by his immense size - he seemed to fill the forest with his presence , but at the same time was innately part of it. It may not be the best picture, but the moment is branded in my mind when the distant dream of this big cat suddenly became a reality. What a blessing and a privilege. Happy #internationaltigerday .



We're pretty lucky that she has first hand experience with capture and collaring Lions so I asked how this Kaziranga Male compares.
I'll update if she get's back to me.

This time, we had to wait a long time to get a glimpse of the #royalbengaltiger. It began with the alarm calls of deer. Unlike the last sighting where we were really close, this time I had to stand on the frame of the jeep and scan the area for a while before the royal highness appeared from among the tall grass. He gracefully walked up to the water body, sat there, took a few slurps of water and then walked away when a group of water buffaloes appeared from the side.
This sighting was in the western zone of the #kaziranganationalpark. What a great day it was!
