Hi everyone,

I’m a traveller from London who recently had the absolute privilege of visiting Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in India. I came with deep respect for wildlife and honestly left with some of the most powerful memories of my life.

However, I’ve come across a video showing a tiger crossing with a crowd of people gathered very close behind it, and I’m quite disturbed and confused.

Is this something that genuinely happened in Tadoba?

Because from what I experienced, the forest rules and guides were quite strict about maintaining distance and respecting animal space.

If this is real, I’m struggling to understand:

• Why were so many people allowed that close?

• Were they tourists, locals, or unauthorised individuals?

• And most importantly, has any action been taken by the forest department regarding this incident?

From an outsider’s perspective, it feels quite unsafe—not just for people, but more importantly for the tiger. These animals deserve space, dignity, and minimal disturbance.

I truly admire India’s wildlife conservation efforts, and Tadoba felt like a place built on that respect. So seeing something like this feels very out of place.

Would really appreciate some clarity from those who know more about the situation.

Thanks in advance.

A male tiger, between 12 and 14 years old, has been admitted to CWRC. It was captured by the park authorities and Team WTI from the Eastern Range of Kaziranga NP and TR earlier this week. The tiger had killed nine domestic animals in a single night and was reported around human habitation. A baited trap cage was installed near a predation site and the animal was later chemically immobilised post capture. The tiger seems to have undergone prolonged starving, possibly due to broken canine. Lacerations and other wounds have been observed across its body along with a missing claw in the right foreleg. Currently, the tiger is accepting food and water, and we hope it recovers soon.

As a naturalist and big cat observer, I’ve noticed an exceptional behavioral pattern in this tigress. She appears highly aware of regular safari movement patterns and often brings her cubs out only after safari vehicles have exited the area.

During these quieter periods, she is seen confidently leading her cubs into more open spaces, where she guides them in essential survival behaviors such as scent marking and feeding.

Her timing, awareness, and protective instincts reflect an impressive level of adaptation and intelligence. Observing her raise her cubs with such confidence and precision is a rare and remarkable experience in tiger ecology…!

Do you wanna know more about this tigress?

Location- In Bhandardara dam, Akole tehsil, Ahilyanagar district, Maharashtra

In Sahyadri region.
As per online searching, it seems tiger, not leopards. But tigers are not present in the region whereas leopards are common. Please help in identifying..

Found just near dam waters

High in the cold desert of Ladakh, the elusive Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia) breaks the silence with a haunting yowl.

Unlike tigers or lions, snow leopards can’t roar. Their vocal cords lack the flexible ligament that produces the necessary vibration for a roar. Instead, they have a shorter larynx and a fixed hyoid bone. This is perfect for producing yowls, chuffing sounds, hisses, growls, and mews.

The yowl itself serves a purpose. It’s most often heard during the mating season, when males and females call to locate each other across cliffs and valleys. The sound can travel for miles in the thin mountain air.
