Who's been to India

[Pckts]

I got to speak with @Pantherinae a bit about his trip to Kanha that he just took.
Hopefully he adds his  1st hand accounts but I'll give you an update on it since he's not as active here any more.

He started the trip with a nightmare, all his luggage was stolen at the airport.
His trip had some hiccups that I'll let him elaborate on if he wants to, but in regards to the wildlife I'll post his comments below.

"Kanha was great though. Saw Gaur for the first time. Also a noticable species was Jungle cat and sloth bear. 
Didn’t get to see Umarpani, but managed Chota Munna and Sangam male, three tigresses (don’t remember their names) and some sub-adults. 
I was really focused on the males and I kinda regret it, as the males didn’t come until the last three days and I kinda didn’t manage to enjoy the females as much because I so badly wanted a male. 

Sangam was seen at some distance crossing the road, I was behind a couple of vehicles. but a big tiger. 

Chota Munna I saw much better, although a short sighting I got a very good look at him. 

Tigresses was big and very impressive. TBH I was more impressed by their size than the males. 

Gaurs where huge and insane. That was a big highlight when a bull was standing on the road. "

"I got some tigers, and two nice big males, including Chota Munna which was my second biggest target! 

very beautiful tigers, but the males where not any bigger than Ranthambore or Bandhavgarh males, they might weigh more(?), but I didn't notice any size difference tbh. Tigresses from Kanha however was the biggest female cats I have seen."

Anyway, cheers to him for braving the summer heat and searching for his favorite Tiger. Reply
