T28, T85 hurt in territorial battle at Ranthambore |

JAIPUR: In a territorial fight at Ranthambore Tiger Reserve(RTR), 10-year-old T28 alias Starmale was injured by his own progeny T85 aka Packman. The clash left T28 severely injured with bruises in several places in the front and rear legs. Both the tigers are inhabitants of the Rajbagh area which falls in zone 3 of RTR.
The forest department, in a medical intervention, tranquilized the tiger to clean the infection from maggots by pushing an anti-maggot injection. "The two have been indulging in fight over the territory for some time. First, we noticed T85 limping but in a recent brawl over the territory between the father and the son, T28 was badly injured. He was treated and is doing fine now," said Y K Sahu, field director at RTR.
T28 is a dominant male tiger that raised two generations of tigers of the park through tigresses T17 and T19, daughters of the legendary tigress Machli. Locally known as 'Sitara', T28 bears a five point star mark on the left eye which gave the tiger his name.
The real pride of Ranthambore, in early 2009 in a notable fight for the territory, T28 had ousted T16. And as things stand today, it's not long before T28 would have to leave the hunting grounds around the lake for son T84.
