T-41 AKA JUNGLEE, RANTHAMBORE TIGRESS

 

T-41 Aka Junglee, Ranthambore Tigress, has been renowned for her wild and fierce nature. Hers had been a story of survival and adjustment in the rugged terrains of Ranthambore Park.

T-4 (Berada female) and Big Daddy had Junglee, also known as Tigress T-41, in Ranthambore's stunning Berda Valley. Her sibling Berda (a male cub) (T-40) was well-liked by the regular tour guides and tourists.

Unfortunately, after a battle with another tiger nearby over a prey item, the mother of the cubs passed away at the age of a year from an infection. Following this episode, the cubs could charm and encourage each other while hunting and learning the fundamentals of survival for a further year.

Due to her unyielding will to survive, Junglee rose to fame in her neighborhood and established herself in her birthplace as a member of the governing class along with her brother T40. Therefore, she ruled over the  Ranthambore National Park areas of Adidant, Berda, Bhakola Valley, and Semli.

Later on, it was noticed that the two siblings began tussling with Semli (T-6), a dominant male tiger, for control of their home region. The fight concluded with T-41's brother escaping the area after being chased away. Junglee had to coexist with him (Semli Male) by making peace with him and routinely mating with him.

Because of this incident, I had the chance to routinely see the brave and soon-to-be couple wooing each other in the neighborhood (in late April and then again in June). In November 2012, their little cubs' first litter was born due to their romance.

Indulging and treating her cubs as she gets accustomed to the new rhythm of life as a mother, Junglee is enjoying her new role as a mother to the fullest at this very moment. She spends her days grabbing a quick bite to eat, quenching her thirst, and feeding her hungry pups, who are still blind for the first ten to fourteen days.

While the dominant Semli Male, who lives in the Berda region (on the outside of the visitor's zone), is frequently seen supervising and overindulging with his tigress (Junglee) on some nearby food. His work as a father is also very important.

As a result, the T-41 tigress is raising her two pups and their devoted father in a family setting. Seeing this endearing family at Ranthambore is truly valuable to everyone.
