The "Collarwali" tigress from Madhya Pradesh's Pench Tiger Reserve died of old age last weekend. The 17-year-old tigress gave birth to 29 cubs in eight litters over 11-year period (from 2008 to 2018) and created her own territory across the whole Pench border, setting a world record.
The specialists radio-collared her in 2008, and again in January 2010, when an official affixed a radio collar around the tigress' neck, which gave her the name "Collarwali."
A documentary named Tiger: Spy in the Jungle was also filmed to show the extraordinary life of the Collarwali tigress.
