Long Live the Queen!!

She is Indrani the resident Queen of Indri, Kanha. Named by Uncle Denzel Stephens after the region where she reigns and the English news reader from Radio Sri Lanka of the same name. Seen in the picture are two of the young prince born barely 6 weeks ago!

She embodies in her the resilience to survive despite all odds and the majestic beauty of Indian wildlife at its best. We were fortunate enough to be granted attendance to her court for the royal viewing on Saturday morning, 11th June 2005

So as the Prime Ministers Task Force for Tiger conservation bumbles, stumbles and mumbles along giving importance to everything but the Tigers, the Tigers themselves are doing a great job, Indrani is just one of the three tigresses with a litter in the park. Currently including Indrani’s 4 there are a total of 10 cubs recorded more or less the same age but sadly, lament the conservationist and the naturalist, that it is almost sure that by the age of 15 to 18 months all of them would be dead – mostly gunned down by poachers and listed in records as being killed by other male tigers!!

Aasim has very innocently named the strongest cub “Rex” and hopes that he will see him as the King – I really doubt that he comprehends the irony of his naming of the cub but I do pray that the fate of these cubs is different

Amen

  • Brilliant! -envious-

    • It could have been you dude 😛

      And just wait till you read and see what I have to write

  • Lucky you…. Its a once in a lifetime shot!

    • Indeed it was a once in a lifetime about 30 shots 😀

      But this one indeed is the one I like for the expression on the cub’s face

      • I really like the look of your coppermine. Which theme? Any custom settings? I am also using coppermine(https://tanveer.in/coppermine). But i find the look a little not too my liking, any tips :)?

        • Yes, it is a theme which I had origianly designed exclusively for my site but later released it – 2bornot2b (download from sf)
