Wildlife lovers who visit the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) have been concerned as Maya, one of the most famous and photographed wild tigresses in the world, hasn’t been spotted for nearly two weeks. Forest department officials and experts believe that she may have delivered cubs in seclusion and more than 100 cameras have been set up to track her down.

The tigress, known as the queen of Tadoba, was often sighted near safari jeeps. Wildlife enthusiast Sanjay Satao said, “The last time forest department officials spotted Maya was on September 25 in the territory where she usually roams. But at the end of the month, the staff spotted another tigress, Chhoti Tara, on Maya’s territory.”
