Just two months have passed when Ranthambore had rejoiced for its three new members of the big cat when three cubs were spotted with their mother and now again there is a good news for the wildlife lovers as one more member is going to increase the tiger count in the Ranthambore tiger reserve.

Famous for its amazing tigers, the Ranthambore tiger reserve is the most celebrated tiger zone in the country due to its fast growing tiger population. And, the cubs of the tigress T-79 is the new addition in the glorious big cat club of Ranthambore.

The tigress T-79 gave birth to cubs and this news was surfaced after a new little cub’s picture was captured in the camera trap in the previous night. The cub has been seen in the lowland region of the Phalodi range of Ranthambore NP.

The forest department of Ranthambore has increased the monitoring of the area after the sighting of the little tiger cub. Though only one cub has been spotted until now, the speculation is that the number of cubs of Tigress T-79 can be more than one as the pugmarks have been found are of more than one tiger cub.

The Ranthambore tiger reserve is spread in the area of around 400 sq km in which the number of tigers was 62 till the March of 2017. The fast increasing population of the tiger in Ranthambore can be a problematic situation and also can be the cause of increased man and animal conflict so the wildlife corridors are going to be a big necessity for the wildlife conservation in the future. The Ranthambore Tiger Reserve has the abundance of the big cat while Sariska tiger reserve has only a few tigers in its forest.
