For the last so many years the air in the Prime Zone no 3 of the Ranthambore jungle was full of the stories of the legends such as Machhali ( T- 16 )and her daughters namely Sundari (T- 17 ), Krishna ( T- 19 ), Ustad (T- 24 ) and Star male (T- 28)
Nature lovers who had been venturing into the park still search for them as they are not able to come out of old memories as they are still live in their mind and soul.
The Queen of the lake Machhali left this park on 18th August 2016 to the heavenly abode but she has left a big legacy in terms of her many off springs. She ruled the prime area around lakes for a number of years and she taught her off springs how to kill a crocodile. At present the lake area is controlled by her grand daughter Arrowhead T- 85 (daughter of Krishna T- 19 from the second litter ). My son Bharat Goel could take some good pictures on 12th of May as he was allotted the zone no 3 and the tigress had passed very close to the vehicle. Another female is her sister namely lightening T 83 .
