Ranthambore Tiger Reserve will say goodbye to one of his most famous passengers on Thursday, as Arrowhead (T-84), known for her remarkable ability to hunt crocodiles, succumbed to bones cancer around 14 years, confirmed forest officials.
Arrowhead, the granddaughter of the legend Ranthambore Machhli and the daughter of Tigress Krishna, captivated the wilderness enthusiast for more than ten years. At the final speech of her fearless nature, she reportedly took off the crocodile near Padama Talaba just before her death – according to the NDTV report, almost scripted the echo of the legendary hunters of her grandmother.
Tigress died for hours after her daughter, Kankati (T-25), was calm and moved to Tiger Reserve Mukundra Hills. This step follows Kankati’s alleged involvement in two fatal attacks, including the one who requested the life of a forest guard. Officials of field field field field officials described timing as “daunting”, when Arrowhead died in zone 2 shortly after her young left.
Arrowhead had four litters and raised about ten pups, six of whom survived today. Over the years, it has been guarding the basic zone of the park and confirmed an important role in maintaining the population of tigers of the reserve. Formally, she earned her name from the designation in the shape of an arrow on her face.
Forest officials and members of the community of wild animals after reports paid emotional honors.
The official Instagram Ranthambore reflected the depth of loss:
“With a heavy heart … an arrow, the pride of our forest … she died … It was a symbol of grace, strength and maternal spirit.”
Arrowhead was found dead near Yogi Mahal and cremated according to the protocols of the National Authority for the Protection of Tigers, with forest guardians, photographers of wild animals and enthusiasts. Many said her inheritance reflected the influence of Machhl and promised to live through her offspring.
