The first gladiator we encountered in this enchanted realm of Gondwana was Taru (T-185) himself - a magnificent male tiger about 6/7 years old and ready to make his move into the light of fame and glory.

The W-mark female of the Adegaon - Dewada range traces her lineage back to some illustrious tigers through the generations. She was born to Bajrang and Lara of Telia Sisters fame. We saw her daintily stepping out from the brush directly in front of us about a kilometre north of the ancient step well of Adegaon almost halfway to the Adegaon-Dewada-Agarzari Gate.

The Adegaon - Dewada - Agarzari range is home to a number of powerful male tigers - Paras, Taru and Shambhu who have made this range their home, Chota Dhadiyal who ranges from Dewada and Junona all the way up to the Tadoba range in the north, C1 and C2 who range between here and the Kolsa Range to the east.

Our time today is with the 4 year old C2 who was sired by the great Khali (T50), also known as the coal mines male, and Sharmili.

The Isabelline Shrike (Lanius isabellinus) is a member of the shrike family (Laniidae) found in an extensive area between the Caspian Sea and north and central China southeast to the Qaidam Basin. It is a common winter visitor to different parts of the Indian Subcontinent which is when I spotted a rare visitor to the Narsapur Forests.

A long- and stiff-tailed bird of the crow family - Corvidae - with primarily rusty-brown upperparts and dull orangish underparts. The head, mantle, and neck region are a dull, sooty black. The long graduated tail is pale gray with a wide black terminal band. Note the conspicuous silvery-gray, white, and black patterns on the wings. This treepie is found in a wide range of habitats from woodlands to scrubby patches, singly or in pairs feeding in the treetops.

The Near Threatened Mrs. Hume's pheasant, also known as Hume's pheasant or the bar-tailed pheasant, is a large, dashingly plumaged, long-tailed terrestrial forest pheasant. The male has a chestnut body, steely blue neck & wing patches, white wing bars, and a long black-and-white banded tail. The brownish female is shorter-tailed, with black-spotted upperparts and red facial patch. They are usually found singly, in pairs, or in trios in forest openings, meadows, and along rural roadsides, typically in the early morning.
