Tigress 'T19' spotted with four newborn cubs at Ranthambhore National Park

In a historic event, a tigress code-named T19 was sighted with her four newborn cubs on Tuesday morning in Ranthambhore National Park.



The episode was captured by well known cinematographer S. Nallamuthu and guide Hemraj Meena during a morning safari.



Dhirendra Godha, a member of the State Board for Wildlife, said it was the second time that such a spot has been recorded since 2001, when the Bakola tigress, known by her territorial site, was seen with her four cubs.

Till that time the big cats of the park were not codified. Usually a tigress has 2 or 3 cubs at a time, he added. Unfortunately, two of the Bakola cubs couldn't survive, and were subsequently not seen.
