A camera trap in Ranthambore Tiger Reserve has photographed the near‑eight‑year‑old tigress T‑125 Siddhi together with her cub.
Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, one of India’s premier wildlife sanctuaries, continues to rely on camera traps to monitor its elusive big cats. The latest footage, released by local media, shows the resident tigress identified as T‑125 Siddhi, an approximately eight‑year‑old female, walking alongside a young cub.
The sighting confirms that Siddhi has successfully reproduced, adding a new member to the reserve’s tiger population. Conservationists view such births as a positive indicator of the reserve’s health, especially after recent concerns over habitat pressure and poaching.
Officials from the forest department noted that the camera trap, positioned along a well‑used trail, captured clear images of the mother‑cub pair, providing valuable data for future monitoring and protection efforts. The news was reported by Amar Ujala, highlighting the ongoing success of tiger conservation initiatives in Rajasthan.
