Teer/ Arrowhead
Each time you enter the jungles of central India you are in the realm of some of the most varied wildlife in India. This time we were out searching for the reclusive Teer/ Arrowhead - named by Ajinder Singh for the distinct arrow or “teer” on his forehead. Born in February 2023, he was one of 3 cubs from the 5th litter of the Legendary Talabwali Tigress with Zanjeer.

The Tipai Leopard
The elusive leopard, a ghost of the forests, is often hailed as its most elegant dweller. The area around the Tipai Mata temple in Tipeshwar is a compact patch of dense forest cover with a number of old and mature trees and is prime habitat for leopards. It was about 7am on the morning of 8th June when we got word of this leopard lazing in a tree just below the mandir.

Nilgai
The nilgai (Boselaphus tragocamelus) (/ˈnilˌɡaɪ/, literally meaning "blue cow") is the largest antelope of Asia, and is ubiquitous across the northern Indian subcontinent. It is the sole member of the genus Boselaphus.
It is a sturdy thin-legged antelope, characterised by a sloping back, a deep neck with a white patch on the throat, a short crest of hair along the neck terminating in a tuft, and white facial spots. A column of pendant coarse hair hangs from the dewlap ridge below the white patch. Females and juveniles are orange to tawny while adult males have a bluish-grey coat and possess horns. Read on.

Archi & her 3 cubs at Tipeshwar
More often than not, spotting a tiger, leave alone a tiger with cubs, is an exciting game of hide-and-seek with small clues sprinkled randomly all over the jungle – a strangely silent and deserted waterhole on a warm evening, a skittish sambar stomping his hoof for no obvious reason, a pug-mark across a recent jeep track, a nervous langur peering at a lantana bush – all pushing the adrenaline as you await a climactic encounter with the apex predator of the jungle. It does not matter where and how it happens, the moment is always mesmeric. Something beautiful and primal stirs within our dulled urban souls and it is virtually impossible to be unmoved by the up, close and very personal experience of meeting almost 220 kilos of majesty and raw muscle.

Meadow queen of Maregaon
This is about my experience with the Meadow queen of Maregaon in Tipeshwar, also called the “4” Mark tigress because she has a huge “4“ beside her right eye. She is the daughter of the Budha Male and the Pilkhan female born in their litter of 3 in November 2013. Read on.
