Mating

Synopsis

Several months after her arrival, Ahimsa becomes familiar with every corner of her territory in Kanha. Her smell markings now carry additional information, signaling to other tigers that she is in heat. The wind carries her scent through the thicket, alerting potential mates. As Ahimsa continues her signaling rounds, a male tiger responds to her call. Although she has detected his scent before, this is the first time she encounters him. The male, larger and stronger, represents a new chapter in Ahimsa's life as she navigates the complexities of mating in the wild.
