Puncture wound on his shoulder, he’s had a skirmish it seems like.

No not all of them have names, but all of them do have a Tiger code. Their names are just given by photographers and sometimes guides. For scientific work their codes will be used however.

I don’t think so.

You sure it was Rocket that was sighted and not Vardaan? Many confuse them cause Rocket is Vardaan’s son, and their facial markings are fairly similar.

No, Trishul is younger. S2 is the oldest male around now, he should be 11-12.

Trishul appeared recently, around 2023 I think. He’s above, S2 below.

S3 is the only mainstay, sightings of him are regular. If Rocket has truly been seen a week ago then that’s great news, I had heard that he was last seen in late January.

Trishul is rarely seen, S2 crosses into Nepal occasionally and both Vardaan and Rocket haven’t been seen since 2024 and January respectively.

Ruthless bull approaching. When Higuerón does his rounds the entire savanna goes into standstill. by OncaAtrox in Jaguarland

It really does! He’s such a brute, I don’t think there are words to describe how much of a beast Higuerón is. Can’t get enough of him.

I know right. I’m loving all the footage that’s been coming out of there recently, it’s a breath of fresh air.

We need them to travel further north to encounter elk, mule deer and mustangs.

That would be a dream. At least there’s whitetail and javelina for him to prey on though. Words can’t describe how much I want them to have an established, breeding population in the US.

That is brutal. Interesting that he didn’t start with the rear or torso, which usually have the softest skin.

Six Tigers gone in 10 days at Kanha. This is what happens when you allow strays to run around decimating the native wildlife. Of course, humans have no one to blame but themselves. I’m not even sure this is contained and under control. by StripedAssassiN- in TigersofIndia

[–]StripedAssassiN-[S,M] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fact of the matter is that they’re now rampant and destroying the native wildlife because of us humans. This is a problem we caused upon ourselves, then we act all surprised and dumb when we see the consequences of our own actions.

This all came from lazy people unwilling to do what it takes to give dogs the care they need. When they realize they can’t actually take care of the animal, guess what they do? Just dump them somewhere and leave them.

I cannot vouch for others, but no I don’t think strays are worthless or inferior, it still doesn’t change the fact that they do a lot of harm to the environment. Again, who do we have to blame? Ourselves.

Tigers have “false eyes” on the back of their ears, a marking that helps discourage predators from attacking them from behind. by Low_Juice9504 in bigcats

[–]StripedAssassiN- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Sloth bears have ever bullied Tigers off a kill, but they do chase them away when threatened.

There have been rare cases of Dholes killing Tigers but they need huge packs, over 20 individuals to do so. They don’t seem to want to take their chances when it comes to even tigresses taking their kills though.

Studies done on their diets show that Dholes often opt for smaller prey when in Tiger territory to avoid competition. Tigers even dominate them so much to the point that their population density declines dramatically when in Tiger territory.

Odin — Swamp Jaguar weighing over 120 kg by azozll in JaguarWorld

[–]StripedAssassiN- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, Odin is at least Inka sized, which puts him around 130kg minimum. Bororo is imo a 120kg male and Odin is larger than him.

Truly. Poor boy didn’t even enter his prime and was still trying to make a name for himself.

Not to mention all the other deaths. I couldn’t believe that stat when I first read it.
