One of the greatest natural history moment witnessed at the Ranthambore Tiger reserve. As we started our full day safari and reached the Zone 6 around 10.30 we got to see the mating pair of T 57 and T 39, as we were photographing
them we saw a mystery tiger pop out of the bush and cross over the road and he crouched down hearing the roar of T57. After a while we saw the unknown male come out of the bushes and slowly mark his area and cut across to the place
where T 57 and T 39 were resting and he crouched to the ground for a few mins before stalking slowly and slowly towards the sleeping tigers, he went up close to the sleeping T 57 and stood there without being noticed.
A few seconds later as he put his paw on the sleeping T 57, the crazy fight started with him pinning down T 57, a few seconds later the tables turned and T57 was over him biting his elbow and face. The bloody fight ended and both the tigers moved away after being wounded.
As we were wondering who this male could be we realized it was none other than T 58 whose territory goes around 7 and 8 zone and who is the brother of T 57.
As soon as the fight started we saw T 39 tigress run away from the spot and after a hour we tracked her now to find her mating with another different male called T 34 at Zone 1.
