Pench is one of the best tiger reserves in central India. With more than 40 tigers, it has high chances of tiger sightings

I don’t agree on this that such behavior where 5th and 6th liter cubs together never recorded is not true. I don’t agree . there are so many photographic evidence from Bandhavgarh tiger reserve and other tiger reserves where female tiger with her 2 liters recorded.

Another important thing is we know only 20% of our tiger reserves have you checked data with forest dept. ? because forest dept. knows the entire park. So, please check the record.

On last I had seen 2 liters of one female tiger together in kanha. 2 years ago.

Every tiger behavior is different. Her two liters came together for a while. It happens. And observed in some other tiger reserve also. Once the cubs are separate they come back again for a small time and then disappear. Since they are not matured enough for meting and establishing own territory these young tiger often gets confused and stay with there mother.

One of the example is from tadoba where few years ago 4 female tiger (sisters) separated and then they came back again in there mother’s territory.

Hi Anuradha very well written article . The pictures and videos are beautiful.
But I have one basic question -how can a tigress have 6 litters between 2008 and 2015?
As per my knowledge, usually there is a gap of around 2 years before the cubs move away from their mother after they are born. As sagnik mentioned did she manage two litters simultaneously? Any idea /information you have from your visit to Pench last year?

In reply to Sagnik. Thank you, Sagnik for helping us with this information about the cubs of Collarwali. I was not aware of this important fact that cubs from two different litters moving together is an exception.

Have read your article on collarwali of Pench it is written very nicely but wanted to tell you that as you have mentioned the sightings are of June 2016 and you have written that along with 2 female Cubs there was a make cub of same age which is wrong as that make cub is of her 5 th litter and he was almost 2.5 years old that time and the female Cubs were of 1.5 years with your detailed description you should have mentioned that this was a unique thing where in her 5th n 6th litter Cubs were together as such thing is not recorded as of in India.
