The tiger known as Broken Tail Tiger was born in Ranthambore National Park in northern India, a vast, natural reserve for a wide variety of Indian wildlife, but especially famous for its Bengal tiger. Historically revered in Indian tradition, maharajahs once protected tigers in the area, and then by government sanctuaries and conservation projects. But poachers have proven to be nearly unstoppable over the years, and tigers have struggled to survive, even with the protection of the park. At one point, there were as few as 26 tigers left in the reserve, and today, the fate of every tiger is important to the species as a whole.
Broken Tail Tiger Story
A young male tiger ‘Bittu’ who was renamed as ‘Broken Tail’ after losing a part of his tail, set out on a journey far from his home inside the Ranthambore National Park. This migration away from the park – about 124 miles or nearly 200 kilometers. A highly unusual and dangerous trek for a tiger. Conversation efforts have been intensified in the face of the crisis, and the struggle continues. Broken Tail: A Tiger’s Last Journey is the story of the life and death of a tiger destined for greatness, who may still lead the way to a better future for those of his kind.
Broken Tail’s mom was a famous tigress called Machli, known as the queen of Ranthambore. She was great at hunting and taking care of her cubs. Broken Tail got some of his mom’s qualities, which made him stand out in the park. People who studied flora and fauna closely watched Broken Tail. they noticed how he interacted with different tigers, fought for territory, and searched for meals.
They discovered a lot about Tigres from reading him. Sadly, Broken Tail’s Story did not satisfy the ending. He passed away too quickly. His death was a big loss for the conservation efforts in Ranthambore due to the fact he changed into a crucial tiger inside the park. Even though Broken Tail is now not here, his story continues to encourage human to guard tigres and their homes. His lifestyle reminds us of the way critical it is to attend to those first-rate animals and the locations they live in. Wildlife filmmaker Colin Stafford-Johnson could tell Broken Tail was special from the beginning.
Curious, exuberant, and charismatic, Broken Tail wasn’t afraid of anything. Stafford-Johnson and local guide, Salim Ali, spent over 600 days following and filming Broken Tail and his family. Then, one day, Broken Tail simply disappeared. A year later, Johnson and Ali heard the news that Broken Tail was killed by a train in Darra, 100 miles away from Ranthambore. This discovery raised new questions. How did Broken Tail travel so far away from home? Why did he leave in the first place?
Stafford-Johnson and Ali set off horseback, tracing Broken Tail’s last journey, looking for answers. Talking to poachers and interviewing eyewitnesses, the duo travels across India, learning some surprising facts from this remarkable tiger’s passage and hoping they will help in the conservation of this endangered species.
Very nice I think poachers to be killed by police to do this so the next time they could,my do this with these sweet animals
