Thomas Vilayan: " Circle of life!
Live kill by a young tiger called Pacman at Ranthambhor " 
Perhaps, or probably, already seen in this post:
" Mother & Daughter skirmish! ⚔️ Battle for territory dominance at Ranthambore National Park, India ?? ." But I will never be tired of seeing how the muscles strongly appears in such confrontations and explosive increases blood pressures between such beasts !
Zhayynn James: " When it’s World Yoga Day, and you’re a tigress and want to impress your Mum, by performing Adho Mukha Shvanasana. That’s a ‘downward dog’ pose. Mum is confused. "
David Yarrow: " Happy Father’s Day
There were a few photographs that I could have chosen for Father’s Day, but there is one image that stands the test of time - T24, the fabled and most dangerous tiger in Ranthambhore, India, with his son. With my excellent guide Vipul Jain, we have spent many hours in the National Park and as those that go there will testify, these can be long hours in the heat with little return. By my maths, we have had 20 great minutes in over 100 hours over the years. That’s 300/1, but when it happens it is all worthwhile. "
Sachin Rai: " This young boy and his sisters were waiting eagerly for their mother to come back from her walk and the eagerness showed in their expressions. It is amazing that the expressions are similar across all cat species, including house cats. "
Rajasthan will seek Missing Ranthambore tigers in Northern MP
Published: 24 June, 2020  *This image is copyright of its original author For almost 5 months now the tigers T-42 Fateh & T-47 Mohan have been off the radar of forest department in the Ranthambore Tiger Reserve. Currently T-66, T-97 as well as a tigress T-54 are contesting between themselves the territories of T-47... Similarly two males T-108 & T-58 are trying to take control of the territories of Fateh in Phillauri range and Zone 10. Ranthambore was already in controversy for constant disappearance of its young tigers without trace. This time both dominant males had been settled in their respective territories for several years before now. File territorial aggression & infights had always been frequent, these tigers have not been found in as injured or dead. Fortunately there had been no evidence of them being poached as well. FD claims that there are forests across Chambal in Madhya Pradesh, right opposite of Dangarwara Area of Phalodi Range of Ranthambore. NTCA has instructed the stare forest service to now work jointly with Madhya Pradesh counterparts & look for traces of these tigers, as well as those that may have previously crossed into the neighbouring state. It had long been known that forests around Kuno-Palpur at any time hosts all at least half-a-dozen of Ranthambore transient tigers, however there had been no evidence of females moving into the area and breeding. However now the combing operation is expected to find them in the area if young male and female tigers from Ranthambore had indeed been moving into Madhya Pradesh due to space constraints.
There is another aspect to this @Rishi. If Madhya Pradesh does find permanent settlers in Kuno-Palpur, then that is the end of the Asiatic Lion restoration in this landscape.
We have all heard of tigers migrating out of Ranthambore for years, some to Keoladeo like T7 in 2010, some to Kuno-Palpur and others just disappearing possibly to the Chambal valley. So, if Madhya Pradesh would have really wanted to know the status of these tigers, they would have made an effort. They are delaying it and kicking it down the road in order for Kuno-Palpur to be be as much in a top notch condition for the Asiatic lions as MP has spent considerable amount of money making Kuno a viable habitat for lions. This constant migration is definitely putting those plans at risk from their perspective. Also makes you question how smart is it to make Kuno an Asiatic lion sanctuary when it is connected via corridor to Ranthambore which may lead to a conflict between the two endangered species. 
@Rishi, another tiger moves out of Ranthambore and into Ramgarh Vishdhari Wildlife Sanctuary (proposed to be 4th tiger reserve of Rajasthan).
Bundi area already has 3 tigers who have all migrated from Ranthambore in the last 6 months, so, there is another corridor out of Ranthambore, this time to the south. Also kind of reinforces the notion that Ranthambore is at it’s carrying capacity. This sanctuary is about 110 kilometres southwest of Ranthambore, and Mukundra is about 30 kilometres further southward, which means if corridors are preserved, you would have a source sink population in Ranthambore populating 4-5 tiger landscapes very much like Bandipur-Nagarhole act in the Western Ghats. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/tiger-moves-into-proposed-big-cat-sanctuary-in-bundi/articleshow/76720050.cms |
