点评:I was at Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary from 20th to 22nd Mar 2024 and had a great sighting /of Archi tigress.
Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary (TWS) has been having great sightings for the last few years with the credit going to Talabwaali tigress and its partner Star male tiger.The lineage at TWS has been built by this legendary couple. Star male tiger has notbeen seen for a couple of years. But the good work done by him has resulted in TWS reporting over 25 tigers.
As on 31st Mar 2024, male tiger Zhanjir, who is about 9 years old, is ruling over the TWS. Zhanjir is a shy tiger and will avoid walking close to the jeeps. He also demonstrates aggression and is known to charge at the jeep on a couple of occasions. The tourist area of the TWS has three tigresses with cubs sired by Zhanjir.
It takes about 45 mins through the forest tracks to reach Mathani gate from the Sunna gate. And vice versa.
A tigress named 4-mark (because of the figure 4 on her face) has two cubs (aged about 4 months old) stays close to the Sunna gate of the forest. The tigress with her cubs are being seen regularly. 4-mark female is about 8 years old and from an earlier litter by the legendary Talabwaali tigress.
The legendary tigress Talabwaali (also numbered as T2) is sighted almost daily with her 3 cubs aged about 6 months old. This tigress is sighted in area next a big lake and hence her name Talabwaali. Tigress Daisy (aged about 2.5 years) from her previous litter is also seen with the 3 cubs which is also an uncommon behavior by a tiger. The area of sighting of this tiger family is almost midway between the Sunna gate and Mathani gate.
Tigress Archi with 4 cubs (aged about 5 months) is seen closer to the Mathani gate. Tigress Archi is known for her “Head on” sightings. And the cubs gets sighted 3 to 4 times a week. It is a wonderful sight to see the cubs playing with each other. And this family of tigers are known to bless the tourists with long sightings whenever it happens.
The cubs at TWS are aged 4 to 6 months. They will be with their respective mother tigress for another year or so. The sightings at TWS will be great not only in the summer of 2024 but also in the summer of 2025 (when the cubs will be around 18 months old). Of course it is a huge challenge for the tigress to ensure safety of the cubs from other predators like Leopard / Wild Dogs / Jackal and also from other tigers. APRIL 2024 TO TO JUNE 2024 IS A GREAT TIME TO VISIT TIPESHWAR. Extremely lucky tourists have seen 12 tigers in one safari.
翻译:2024 年 3 月 20 日至 22 日,我在 Tipeshwar 野生动物保护区,看到了 Archi 母老虎。
Tipeshwar 野生动物保护区 (TWS) 在过去几年中一直有很好的目击记录,这要归功于 Talabwaali 母老虎和它的伴侣 Star 雄虎。TWS 的血统是由这对传奇夫妇建立的。Star 雄虎已经有几年没有出现了。但他的出色工作使 TWS 报告了超过 25 只老虎。
截至 2024 年 3 月 31 日,大约 9 岁的雄虎 Zhanjir 统治着 TWS。Zhanjir 是一只害羞的老虎,会避免靠近吉普车。他还表现出攻击性,众所周知,他曾几次向吉普车冲去。TWS 的旅游区有三只母老虎和 Zhanjir 所生的幼崽。
从 Sunna 门到 Mathani 门需要大约 45 分钟的时间,穿过森林小径即可到达。反之亦然。
一只名叫 4-mark 的母老虎(因为脸上有数字 4)带着两只幼崽(大约 4 个月大)待在森林的 Sunna 门附近。人们经常看到这只母老虎和她的幼崽。4-mark 雌虎大约 8 岁,是传说中的 Talabwaali 母老虎的早期幼崽。
传说中的母老虎 Talabwaali(也编号为 T2)几乎每天都能看到她带着 3 只大约 6 个月大的幼崽。这只母老虎出现在一个大湖旁边的区域,因此得名 Talabwaali。人们还看到了她上一窝的母老虎 Daisy(大约 2.5 岁)和 3 只幼崽,这也是老虎不常见的行为。这个老虎家族的目击区域几乎位于 Sunna 门和 Mathani 门的中间。在靠近 Mathani 门的地方,人们看到了母老虎 Archi 和 4 只幼崽(大约 5 个月大)。母老虎 Archi 以“迎面而来”而闻名。每周可以看到 3 到 4 次幼崽。看到幼崽们互相玩耍真是太美妙了。每当发生这种情况时,这个老虎家族都会让游客们有幸看到它们。
TWS 的幼崽年龄为 4 到 6 个月。它们将与各自的母老虎在一起再呆一年左右。TWS 不仅在 2024 年夏天,而且在 2025 年夏天(幼崽大约 18 个月大)都会看到它们。当然,对于母老虎来说,确保幼崽免受豹子/野狗/豺狼等其他掠食者以及其他老虎的伤害是一个巨大的挑战。 2024 年 4 月至 2024 年 6 月是游览蒂佩什瓦尔的最佳时机。非常幸运的游客在一次游猎中看到了 12 只老虎。
