Sariska's first couple may have mated before airlift
Big cats come with baggage. Before their fate brought them together to a new home in Sariska, the young animals had formed a pair. Many in Ranthambhore spotted the Lakrda female mating with a robust collared tiger not far from Malik Talao - the same picturesque water body that made her mother famous as the Lady of the Lake - days before she was moved to Sariska.
While some mistook the tiger for the Kachida male - one of Ranthambhore's many collared tigers -the bulkier frame was a giveaway The Lakrda female's partner was none other than the T10 male, say forest sources, the tiger that preceded her to Sariska on June 28.
Early days still, but Sariska's first tigress just might be carrying her first litter from her old home. If she shows signs of pregnancy now and goes on to deliver, Sariska might have a second generation of tigers much earlier than expected.
