Years later, bizarre incident has been observed on October 22, 2015 in Ranthambore National Park.

This event occurred near Raj Bagh Lake area at Jogi Mahal which is considered Rajasthali of Ranthambore National Park, where the tigress T19 had suffered from her own daughter.

TWIST IN THE TALE OF MACHLI'S FAMILY

In 2007, tigress Machli or T16 gave birth to three cubs. These include T 17, T18 and T19. Around six Year ago, a similar story occurred with famous tigress "Machli" when she was repulsed by her daughter T-17 from her own region. This phenomenon also occurred in Raj Bagh area which comes in zone no.3 of the tiger reserve and thus in the battle of the region, Machli T16 was defeated and she was coerced to leave the territory for her daughter a.k.a. T17. Machli went to the Lakarda area along with her two cubs T18 and T19. It is said that T 17 ruled for almost two years in the area and after that she mysteriously escaped from there to somewhere. But since then, T19 has established her rule in this region. At present she has three cubs and one of them, 20-month-old cub (female tiger) challenged her for the territory.
