Everyone has heard of Machli the famous tigress of
Ranthambore National Park. Machli has been instrumental in increasing the tiger
population immensely at the Park. Her off-springs are just as gifted and reproductive
as she was in her days of youth. One of her daughters, ST-2 who was relocated
to Sariska tiger Reserve in 2008, has settled well in those surroundings.
Last weekend the magnificent tigress was caught on camera,
hunting for prey with two newly born cubs of hers. This is indeed news of joy
and jubilation for animal lovers in India and abroad. The cubs seemed to be
accompanying the mother and learning the ways of surviving in the jungle world.
This happens to be the second litter of ST-2 who has been a
proud mother of 2 female cubs in her first litter. With this fresh sighting,
the count of tigers has gone up to 11 at Sariska. Though it is not certain if
there would be more cubs or not. That time will tell. All eyes are trained on
the cameras fitted in the Tiger Reserve to catch any further glimpse of this
wonderful animal and her cute and adorable cubs.
The female cubs from ST-2’s first litter are also blossoming
into young tigresses and it would be really superb to get the news of their
litters as well.
