You never forget your first sighting of a wild Tiger - made more special because she was the famous Machli (T16). I was speechless for 45 minutes afterwards with the sheer emotion of it. 27/3/11.

She was known for her hunting skill & strength, in particular in an incident in 2003 when she fought with and killed a 12-foot-long mugger crocodile. As a result of the fight, she lost a front tooth.
