Has Ustad's behaviour Changed in Captivity ?
Udaipur, 3 Sept : On asking Has T-24 Ustad's behavior Changed in Captivity?
"It's a million dollar question as nobody at least we don't it's answer but we are quite sure that something has changed. Said some authorities from Sajjangarh Biological Park on non disclosure of name.
Ustad was 9 year old when he was shifted to Sajjangarh Biological Park after he has been alleged of killing four people at Ranthambhore National Park. Now he is more than 15 years old.
Ustad has been kept in a non display area of the bio-park where tourist can't see him only authorised Forest Staff and Veterinary Doctors and his caretaker are allowed to go to the holding area.
Ustad (means Master) was one of the very majestic and famous Tiger of Ranthambhore, because of his bulky appearance he probably got his nick name, his captivity led National as well as international agitation by Wildlife Lovers.
Sources told that earlier T-24 aka Ustad was quite aggressive when he was shifted to Sajjangarh Biological Park. But slowly and gradually he got familiar with his caretaker.
Now when the caretaker calls his name he responds to it, he knows that his caretaker is calling and recognises him. Still if anyone new comes to that area is simply greeted by an angry roar of Ustad.
His food menu is still soup and minced meat due to his digestive problem, but he is very active fit and fine said the sources.
Ustad was brought to the Bio-park on 16th May 2015, he was operated on 4th Dec 2015, since then Ustad is taking a specialized diet and care.
On several occasions there were rumours that Ustad will be released and get shifted to a larger enclosure, but all vain, till now No decision has been taken for Ustad's release while he getting older making it more difficult to shift a tiger of old age.
It seems he will Stay inside the Same Park until he will take his last breath, thanks to some so called local politicians and hotel lobby and their pressure Ustad is under lifetime imprisonment, said some wildlife lovers.
The current situation intimates that, It will be only a dream of some wildlife lovers that Ustad can still be released.
Long Live Ustad... His Legacy continues from Sultan (still missing) to his cubs T-117 (female) and T-118 (female) and their little cubs.
