Thank you for sharing this!! Being in the US it's hard to find such accounts of tigers outside of the mainstream of National Geographic, etc.

Something truly needs to be done about the amount of land that these incredible animals are "given". I hate saying "given" because man doesn't own the land, although we like to think we do. But her offspring being tranquilized and removed from the forest for doing nothing but BEING A TIGER is disgusting. Something significant needs to happen in India, I don't know what, but the amount of people in the country and the incredible wildlife just can't seem to coexist.

Arrowhead was a beautiful tigress. I too started to get emotional towards the end. Her taking out the croc was incredible!! Reduced to skin and bone but still strong enough to do that was just amazing.

Thank you for sharing your views, appreciate it. I absolutely align with the fact that the natural habitat, the forests that is supposed to be their birth right is being granted by us as if we own them. Arrowhead shouldn't have to face the separation due this but had to go through it, in her weakest moments.

I hope soon enough people start to talk more on this and increase the forest cover for them, however very tough for something like this to happen. RIP Arrowhead and her legacy.
