Tadoba：雌虎战野狗
Tigress and the Wild Dogs – High drama in the harsh jungle…
(Photos by Jignesh Patel, Naturalist at Svasara Jungle Lodge, Tadoba)
As narrated by Jignesh: Around 10am yesterday (9th Feb) the jeep from Svasara Lodge was near Jamni Chowk and saw some Wild Dogs “Dholes” crossing the road.
There were 2 adult dogs and 4 pups. The Tigress was sitting inside a bush and the dogs probably didn’t see the Tigress.
It seems one of the pups was ahead of the pack and went right near her. The Tigress attacked the pup and the rest of the Dholes starting screeching.
Meanwhile, the visitors on the jeep could not see what happened inside the bush but only heard the noise of the Wild Dogs.
Everybody assumed that the Dholes were fighting amongst themselves and hence all that noise. Then, they saw the Tigress coming out
and noticed she was holding the limp pup in her mouth… She then walked inside the naalah with the pup still in her mouth.
The other Wild Dogs followed the Tigress for some time but since they were not in a big pack, they did not confront her.
2013年2月9日的报道：塔多巴保护区一只雌虎与野狗之战，这次野狗数量太少（2只成年，4只幼崽），所以野狗吃了大亏，一只野狗幼崽被雌虎秒杀，然后雌虎叼着战利品离去，剩下的野狗只能在后边干瞪眼…

伦滕波尔：江山易主
A Star has Fallen ; Star Male retreats
01 Feb 2013
Sitara, meaning 'Star' in Hindi, is nervous. The simmering tensions over the last few months with his major rival Dollar (T25) is having its effect. Dollar appears to have won the prize of the picturesque lakes as his newly founded kingdom and Star Male (T28) has retreated to new and less familiar ground.
Star Male was in the Lambi valley yesterday, far away from his normal stamping ground. However, as is always the case in tiger’s never ending territorial battles, Star Male is now encroaching on Semli’s (T6) lands, while he is presently entertaining his latest dalliance, the T41 tigress.
Star Male is licking his wounds - both real and metaphorical - scared of confronting Dollar now, and again being injured by the feisty Satra, who herself has been hiding away now in the Kachida valley with her three cubs after some veterinary intervention on her own injuries.
Will Semli allow this unwanted incursion? Will Satra come back as ‘lady of the lakes’ again soon now the father of her cubs has finally claimed her entire territory? The plot thickens.

2013年2月1日最新报道，伦滕波尔新星T28不幸战败于T25，被T25赶出了湖边的富饶领地，被迫向内陆转移，转移途中它很可能遭遇到T6，T6会允许T28的不请自到吗？

T-25 Dollar Male vs T-28 Star Male
这是T28在2013年2月1日被T25打败的后续报道

On the 23rd December T-17 Satra had made a kill and got her three cubs to the place.
Some time in the night the T-28 Star male reached there and snatched the kill from her. They must have had a fight, as T-28 had an injury on his front right leg
去年12月23日夜晚，T25的老婆T17和3个孩子正在吃饭，不料T28赶到，想抢夺食物，T17不肯，同时也怕孩子被T28干掉，所以T17与T28开战，T28右前肢受伤（下图是受伤的T28）。

and T17 was also injured. she was limping badly and wasn't even touching the ground. but thanks god, all of her three cubs are save.
T17也受伤不轻，一直跛行了好几天，甚至连躺下来都很困难，幸运的是，3个孩子保住了。

now after that incident, it's time for their father, T-25 Dollar male to get 'revenge' on T-28 Star Male.
and as a result, Dollar seems to have come out on top in his rivalry with Star Male,
taking over the lake region and throwing local living arrangements into some confusion. But T-17 has always been ‘lady of the lakes’. Will she return now that the father of her cubs is setting up shop in her territory?Having recently had his own two daughters relocated to a nearby park, Dollar the doting dad is having something of a change of image with his new territorial ambitions.
孩子爹T25知道此事后大发雷霆，把T28打得满地找牙，并且将T28驱逐出境…
T25顺水推舟占领了T28的领地，T17也有幸保住了自己的湖边领地（它老公T25应该不会把它怎么样）…

老玛琪丽，尚能饭否？
从表情来看，老奶奶玛琪丽可能撑不了多长时日了...
传奇正在走向终点？
祝福她吧...

可惜表格里边的字太小了，实在看不清楚...

只有AVA论坛其中一个网友的分析还看得清楚：
take a closer look guys. T-23,T-24 and T-25 are Brothers indeed. same thing as T-28 star male and T-29. interesting. so they are not just randomly named. the bad news is, T-29 is missing, he's probably dead. and T-10 died in sariska. Jhumroo was relocated to sariska as well but he's still alive.
如上图所示： T-23,T-24 and T-25 是同胞兄弟，T28和T29是同胞兄弟，T29去年败给T28后失踪，估计死多活少，T10死在新保护区sariska，T20（Jhumroo）也被转移去了sariska保护区，还健在。

AVA有个网友提到了几句：

（可惜是转移去sariska保护区的，有T10和T20，T10后来死了，没提到转移去Panna的是谁...）
