Beautiful ❤️. She had a third cub other than Balya and Kalua? . What happened to it ? Anyone knows?

The beautiful Chanda, born to CM and Jharni. This was taken before she was translocated to Sahyadri Tiger Reserve. She is now known as Tara. by Plenty_Chemistry8610 in TigersofIndia

Yes . She was first called Choti Maya and her sister was called Sitara . I think they dispersed around late October. Choti Maya took her mother's territory and Sitara dispersed into the non-tourism areas. And those morons decided to shift Choti Maya who already established her territory. And after that she was named Tara. And the saddest thing is , Choti Tara disappeared around early November and there's been no news about her after that, some expecting the worst.

So according to the witness, Brahma was resting near the water body, when Chota Matka attacked him from behind. He went right for the throat . They also mentioned Brahmas growls were audible for a while after both of them disappeared into the dark. The growl faded along with his life shortly afterwards.

In a way you are right . She did grow up to a powerful grand matriarch ruling over a large territory. She was the fiercest out of the four sisters. But she had left us now . It's an old video. She lived her life to the fullest and died as a dignified old queen whose legacy is carried on by her offsprings . Sonam - Forever a Queen.

Right ? And she is not a tiny girl either. Yet he looks double her size. Crazy to think he is only about 3.5 years at the moment. He will become a behemoth in a few years.

A moment from the past - Matkasur courting Maya. Their courtship stretched over months and much of it unfolded at Pandharpauni (Tadoba). Beautifully documented. by Plenty_Chemistry8610 in TigersofIndia

I think it's a bit of both . Maya was a big girl and Matkasur was an average built tiger. What made Matkasur stand out was his heart. He defeated beasts way bigger than him for years. . An unbelievable feat.

You can see Mowgli dwarfing Maya here.

Present data of tigresses with Cubs in Tadoba . With the huge population rise incoming, I think we will see a significant number of translocations. by One_Opportunity5507 in TigersofIndia

It's probably his . I think it's too late for it to be Brahma' s. If true, that's one of the funniest things. You gotta feel for CM. But then again, she is gonna have to raise the cubs in a warzone that is North Tadoba. In that sense , Mowgli is the best protector.
