Bloody fight between tigress Langdi and Khankati In 2011, a tigress named Langdi lived with her two children in Chakradhar of Bandhavgarh Reserve. One day tigress Khankati came to live there. Langdi defeated her and drove her away but after 3 months Khankati attacked again and killed Langdi. Not only this, she also ate her body. Langdi’s children somehow escaped and saved their lives but the twist in the story came when those children started taking revenge for their mother’s death. Now Khankati started living in Chakradhar and she met with the tiger here and gave birth to three children. In August 2014, a male tiger killed all three children of Khankati. This tiger was none other than Langdi’s young child. After a few days, Khankati again gave birth to three children but this time she was alert. She had faked a meeting to trap the bloody bag of her children in the net. When the male tiger came, he understood Langdi’s trick. According to the World Life Institute of India, the tiger killed Khankati and her three children in anger. In this way, Langdi tigress’s child avenged his mother’s death by killing Khankati’s entire family after 3 years.
An incident related to the love story of the tiger is also from Rajasthan’s Ranthambore National Park. In August 2020, a tiger teen98 lived with tigress MP2 in this national park, but one day the tigress was sent to Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve with another tiger MT1. One day, to meet his girlfriend, Tiger T98 crossed 3 districts and Kali Sindh river and reached Mukundra Hills 150 km away, but by then he was living with another tiger. A few days after this incident, the body of tiger T98, who had come from Rajasthan, was found in the post-mortem that the cause of his death was lung disease and heart attack. About 10 days later, the body of his girlfriend was found. There were marks of wounds on her body. The doctors of the Tiger Reserve speculated that it could be the tiger with which she was kept. The tigress refused to let him meet again and both of them fought which resulted in his death
