This time its a lioness!

One thing we must note from a majority of these videos is the following

1) Generally people are not cruel towards animals
2) Respect is shown to let the animal do its own thing
3) No one is scared frozen

Well don't remind of the elephant where an explosive was placed or bakrid things. In such a large country, we will find cruel people, but, am talking of the quite majority.

That's one great Tiger





Story is a long one but worth reading.....
ZAALIM aka DOLLAR (T25) is one of the most dominant males of Ranthambore National Park (Rajasthan,India). He is a Powerful, fearless and ruthlessly aggressive male tiger (Hence the name zaalim meaning Frightful) . He was named dollar for the dollar shaped marking on his right flank.

1. He mated with T5 ( Kachida ) and litter of two female cubs K1 & K2 was born in November 2010. (This was their second litter). Time seemed good for the tiger family but destiny had other plans. When cubs were only 3 months old, T5 was wounded and later on succumbed to her injuries .
Her cubs were missing. Worried of their safety, Forest officials launched a massive search. Four days passed with no clue. With every passing day their chances of survival seemed meek. Trap camera were set up around the area in a hope of finding them. After a few days the efforts payed off, the cubs were spotted in bushes near a forest post. Beating all odds they had survived. Their mother's demise scared them and they went into hiding in a cave nearby. It was assumed that their mother already knew of her numbered days, and she might have trained them to stay away from danger.

2. Although cubs were now found but their fate remained uncertain. Cubs of this age do not survive in the wild. The forest department kept a constant vigil on them and even fed them. Camera traps were installed around the area to monitor their every move. The images that came through were surprising, they escaped death by a whisker's length many a times. Some times leopards would come very close but they would escape, bears were spotted in the same vicinity on many occasions and once even a Stripped Hyena almost got to them. But miraculously, they stayed alive. It seemed these cubs were meant to be special.

3. One day a picture (3rd picture) from camera trap on May 2011 got forest officials on their heels. A huge male tiger was seen following one of the cubs. Male tigers are known to kill the cubs in order to be able to mate with resident females and eliminate any future competition. In a mode of panic, officials followed the tiger. To their amazement it was DOLLAR , their father.
What happened next was beyond anyone's wildest imagination. DOLLAR , the ruthless beast was actually protecting his cubs with MATERNAL INSTINCTS. This behavior shocked wildlife enthusiast and experts.

4. Days passed by, cubs grew stronger and bigger with their father by their side. He taught them how to hunt. When they were nine months they made their first kill. K2 would lead the hunt and K1 followed. DOLLAR would observe them from a distance as they learnt the tricks and trades of a tiger's life. Many times the family would be found cherishing a kill together. While K1 loved to bask in the shadow of her father's domain, K2 was little rebellious, challenging his authority time and again. But no matter how the daughters traded, family stayed together. The bond between them strengthening with time. Afternoons of the summer were hot, the family spent a lot of time together cooling down in water holes. They would rub flanks with their father (In tiger language that means a show of affection)

5. Late one evening while strolling around, cubs came very close to a waterhole where Tigress T17(SUNDARI) was resting. Tigress are not very fond of other cubs in their territory. This made T17 very angry. She crouched low, preparing for an ambush.
As she sprinted ahead she was interrupted mid-attack by the emergence of DOLLAR from the nearby bushes. He shoved her away with a sway of his paw. T17 was startled and had to back down as DOLLAR stood tall between her and the cubs. T17 lowered herself to the ground and tucked her tail (signal of accepting defeat). DOLLAR kept vigil till T17 walked away out of view. The event recorded in camera was one of most valuable evidence of maternal instincts of a male tiger.

6. Both K1 & K2 proliferated under the guidance of their father, they grew up to be two beautiful tigresses who dominated the Kachida territory, which was once their mother's. Due to higher tiger population in the area, to avoid territorial conflict the Park official decided to relocate both K1 & K2 to Sariska Tiger Reserve (Rajasthan, India) in January 2013 as a part of tiger reintroduction program.
They were tranquilized and relocated. The family split up with K1 & K2 starting their life in a new land and DOLLAR left behind to start afresh.

7. It seemed like the end of an epic story of the Indian wilderness. But may be it wasn't...

DOLLAR mated with T17 late in 2012, who bore him three cubs. Cubs were raised for a few months and then suddenly early in summer 2013, T17 disappeared without a trace. Her cubs were just few months old and again another set of new life was facing a dilemma for survival.
Following T17's disappearance in April 2013, DOLLAR mothered another set of cubs.To everyone's astonishment, HE BETRAYED NATURE ONCE AGAIN.
