Tadoba queen Maya not seen since Aug 23; pregnancy likely, says official

Concerns have been raised about the whereabouts of Tadoba’s famous tigress Maya (T-12) after tourists reported not seeing her for five days. The last sighting of Maya was on August 23, leading some to speculate that she may have delivered cubs. Wildlife experts believe that Maya may be keeping her cubs safe from other males and making less movement during this season when prey and water are abundant. However, there are calls for a search operation to ensure Maya’s safety.
