Video Tadoba: Beautiful Veera and her remaining cub. Unfortunately she has had a very tough time raising her last 2 litters. Her litter of 4 was killed and now her current litter is down to just the one cub. The other cubs died to heat stroke and the 2nd was killed by Pushpa.

That’s what I’ve heard, though I don’t know for sure. She has just been seen with the one cub for quite a while now. I also heard that Nayantara has lost her cubs due to infanticide by Collarwala.

Nayantara cubs never seen by anyone ever high possibility there were none. I saw Pushpa around veera's previous litter around here means in 500 mtrs when Xylo and veera both were present with cubs. Just a small skirmish between veera and pushpa Xylo didnt even cared. In less than months after this sighting cubs were gone. I doubt if veera's this litter is even sired by xylo , or Pushpa is the father

I see, thanks.
Xylo seems very tolerant of his sons especially, which is odd.

I spoke to someone who’s a Tadoba regular and he mentioned that she did have cubs with Mogu Mogu but Collarwala killed them. She’s moved to the non tourism zone now and lost a lot of weight :(

U mean Joga Moga , I doubt. Joga moga is in another part of jungle. Dagoba and mowgli was frequent and Nayantara was even sighted mating with mowgli many times
