A little about Umred Karhandla Wildlife Sanctuary

Umred Karhandla Wildlife Sanctuary
This is one of the few parks where for the first few days I saw more tigers than any other animals. The park has four gates : Gothangaon, Kharandla, Pauni and Pullar. I have been to only two of them namely Gothangaon and Kharandla .In total we saw five tigers. We saw two tigers and a leopard at Gothangaon and three tigers at Kharandla . Most of the tigers in the park are of some relation to the parks dominant male tiger Jay. Jay is not orignally from the park but rather he has migrated from the tourism zone of Nawegaon-Nagzira Tiger Reserve. This was quite feat as he had to cross roads, highways and even railway lines to reach the park.
Jay is not shy of people and doesn't even move for cars. .He is a very large tiger and some claim him to be the biggest in India. I how ever do not know if this is true.

Ranthambore 2017 - Day 1

Image
 We started the full day trip to Ranthambore with a bang, within the first hour we were greeted by Noor (T39).We had the pleasure of photographing her for a long time as the tigress is rather bold.  After Noor receded into a water hole far away we came across the pug marks of a  tiger cub. We followed the pug marks to find  T60 and three cubs sitting in shade a few feet away from the road. Very soon they crossed the road and went into shrubs to further cool down. The images below are of Noor, T60 and T60's cubs.

Noor and her kill

Image
The images below are of Noor (T39) dragging her kill and then sitting in water. We had seen Noor stalk  Gaur on the first day and even had seen her try and make a kill on the second day morning. However, it was around 12 when she succeeded and dragged her kill across a river bed and into a small water hole.
