Two female Tigers fight over territory in Ranthambhore National Park, India. We had spent a long time watching one of Arrowhead’s two year old female cubs as she lay asleep by the lake. Finally she moved to the shade of a tree and some tall grass and was now invisible to us. As we waited, Riddhi’s two year old female cub turned up and lay down some distance away. Suddenly she saw Arrowhead’s cub and began a slow stalk towards her. There then followed a brief but dramatic fight with very loud growling. Riddhi’s cub was the clear winner and she left the other cub under the tree. Riddhi’s cub walked off and sat for a while in the water at the edge of the lake. She then wandered off, scent marking as she went claiming this as her territory. Amazing to witness two female Tigers fight over territory.
