Tigress T-107 (Sultana) Becomes a Mother for the Fourth Time Near Trinetra Ganesh Temple in Ranthambore

Ranthambore National Park, one of India's most iconic tiger reserves, is once again witnessing the magic of wildlife with the birth of new tiger cubs. Tigress T-107, also known as Sultana, has become a mother for the fourth time. Information has emerged that the tigress has two to three cubs. This is good news for wildlife lovers and conservationists. However, the forest department team is unable to trace the cubs. Monitoring is being done through camera traps and field patrolling.

Tigress T-107 roams in some parts of Ranthambore's Zone 1 and 2, which are considered the best zones of Ranthambore. According to the forest department, a few days ago, forest guards saw two cubs with the tigress. After this, the department started monitoring. Cameras have been installed to keep an eye on the movements of the tigress.

The forest department suspects that she gave birth to her cubs near the historic Hammir Kund in Zone 1, which is close to the iconic Trinetra Ganesh Temple road.

Cubs Remain Elusive to Cameras

Though the tigress' movement has been detected, her cubs have not been seen in any trap camera footage yet. Additional camera traps have been installed in the area to confirm the presence of the cubs. At present the department is avoiding confirmation as no picture of the cubs has been captured in the photo trap cameras.

Cubs Seen Once, Then Gone

According to reports, the cubs were seen once by a patrolling team, but since then, there have been no further sightings. Experts believe the tigress may be hiding her cubs in a safe rocky den, which is normal behaviour of a mother protecting her newborns.

Frequent Sightings around Trinetra Ganesh Route

Let us tell you that the movement of tigress T-107 is in the area of ​​Trinetra Ganesh Marg or Ranthambore Fort Road and Mishradarra cave and its surrounding areas. Recently, an incident of a tigress attacking a child was also reported in this area. According to wildlife experts, this incident is also being linked to this, because usually the tigress gets agitated when she is with her small cubs.

Tigress T-107 Gives Birth to Her Fourth Litter

According to the forest department, tigress Sultana has given birth to cubs for the fourth time. For the first time, tigress Sultana had given birth to two cubs in the Amareshwar forest area. After this, she gave birth to two cubs in Zone One and for the third time, she again gave birth to three cubs in Zone One.

A Proven Mother and Legacy of T-39 "Noor"

T-107, Sultana, is the daughter of the famous tigress T-39, also known as Noor. At around 9 years of age, Sultana has already contributed significantly to Ranthambore's tiger population. Her first litter of two cubs was born in the Amreshwar forest area and were later identified as T-138 and T-139. Her second litter did not survive, but she had better success with her third and gave birth to three healthy cubs.

According to the forest department, this fourth litter also includes three cubs - although confirmation of this is still pending.

Cubs born for the second time in same area

Interestingly, this is the second time Sultana has chosen the Trinetra Ganesh Temple route for the birth of her cubs. Earlier, she had given birth to the cubs in the Mishradarra area near Gaumukhi. This time, she has moved a little deeper into the forest to Hammir Kund – just 500 metres from her previous birthplace.

Why This Birth is So Important

Every new birth in Ranthambore strengthens tiger conservation efforts. Tigress Sultana's continued role in nurturing new generations is a testament to the park's healthy environment and vigilant conservation strategies.

The forest department has stepped up surveillance in her area and hopes to spot the cubs soon, when they grow big enough to venture out with their mother. Until then, the team is taking care that no one disturbs the tigress or her hidden cubs.

The forest department hopes that once the cubs become strong enough, they will be visible in the camera traps.
