Tigers: Spy in the Jungle!


Finally one of the best footage so far on Tigers is out last month 'Tigers: Spy in the Jungle'.
It was filmed here at Pench for nearly 3 years! Made by one of the best media company John Downer Productions ltd .
When ever i used to meet them in the park while driving i used to ask how is it coming? whats new footage they got? when it will be ready?, and i had visualized what ever they said and imagined how it looks whenever the tigers moved close to those low level cameras they used. now waiting to see it.
Geff who is amazing with his engineering, creating new camera equipment every day making and fixing it in the field and Mike cameraman always on elephant following the tigers and filming them.

I guess soon it will be released in India and i am sure Pench is already getting popular in Europe as its already aired there.

The 2 female and 2 male cubs in this movie are now adult and independent. Females have formed territory in their mother's territory and males are not sure where they go and come but they are seen once in a while.

Check out few clippings at John Downer Productions ltd

should be an amazing film.

There is a sequence on john downer productions website where a leopard moves her cub.

Is this the same female whose courting you photographed ?

I would like to know how Charger the male tiger came about in this documentary. This famous dominant male tiger lived in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve and died in september 2000. Spy In The Jungle was filmed in Pench Tiger reserve so I would like someone to shed some light on this matter and when was this documentary filmed?

the tiger so called 'charger' in the doc is the dominant tiger in Pench and he is also known as Kalapahad male, due to his aggressiveness towards elephants he is called locally as 'charger' also.
