Tiger (Chota Matkasur) gets angry and growls as jeep hits a stone in Tadoba Tiger Reserve (TATR)
Junior or Chota Matkasur is a big juvenile male seeking a territory in Tadoba Andhari Tiger reserve or TATR. He was sitting gracefully in the middle of the road and we had a brief terrifying moment when he got irritated because our jeep hit some large stones while backing. The commotion attracted his attention and his menacing looks sent shivers down our spines. What an experience! This guy who is bigger than Matkasur, the reigning male tiger, is huge and will be a force to reckon with in the next few years.
When we saw the tiger the excitement spread like a virus in the body!
In more recent times he has moved to the Navegaon area and settled himself. He is a very strong and huge tiger and has mastered to hunt and live independently now. He has had scuffles with other tigers and also fought with Maya and left the panderpouni ain bodi area. That he killed a mighty big Gaur or Indian Bison speaks volumes of his ability to take on large prey.
These days he is not often sighted and moves like a spy in the jungle.
Its heartening to know that owing to the Lockdown in the wake of Covid-19 Pandemic, TATR authorities have decided to telecast the daily updates of TATR through the KZread Channel (TATR 4K Live). What a wonderful thing to do by the autorities!

Your video genuinely gave me goosebumps. It must have definitely been a thrilling experience for ya'll. There is no video about tigers quite like this anywhere on youtube. This vid was one of a kind and I do hope you keep uploading. Contrary to the negative comments about the music, I feel that it added a sense of exploration and eagerness to the vid. It did put a smile on my face and I think that's what matters. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

Tiger is magestic animal . But not An Animal of our definition. Will never touch you in anger mode. I had encountered a female tiger in Nagzira with cubs due to our disturbance, cubs scattered. She got angry ,charged our group 12times .we were on morning bird watch walk.Walk I.e. were on ground . Sitting still.but that animal didn't touch . I was so close ,I could see her whisker hairs and face hairs standing in anger . But no she didn't touch me .That day I got lesson that being mighty with control on anger makes Tiger a King , Magnificent Animal. I remember that day of 2may 2002....and respect increased for The Tiger....

Taking videos or going home with memories of Safari is different from taking the King & mounting it as a trophy 🏆 in the house speaks volumes of the respect & admiration for the hunter in his neighborhood & his circle of friends & relatives.
Great video, but have you considered that in a video story where sounds are important - jeep going over stones, annoyed tiger growling - not having a drumming sound track might be better? Kruger National Park, Kruger Sightings video clips have millions of views, no sound tracks just actual recorded sounds. The natural world has action and drama enough.
