ES: Cómo es mi costumbre los nombres o apodos de algunos pumas son para ir reconociéndolos, por lo general son de origen Mapuche. Epullanca es un buen nombre para esta felina. El significado es "Dos Joyas" y la llamo así por sus ojos especiales de dos colores.

Tigress Low Key... These images were taken in harsh midday light when a tigress went for a drink and the cave like environment created a beautiful dark background while the light caught the eye of the beautiful cat. Best of all, we got to enjoy this beauty completely on our own. This is why we opt for some full day outings in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve.

When he was four months old, I saw him as a cub at Jamni Meadows with his brother, where he was being looked after by mother Choti Tara and father Matkasur. These teenage boys' bold behavior turned them into the park's stars as the day went on. They matured from cub to large adult tigers, yet they lacked confidence. Chota Matka made the decision to remain in his birthplace (…) Although he was working hard to acquire his father's land, he found it extremely difficult for success over an experienced queen. Later, he made his way to the north side of the park towards the Alizanza buffer, but challenges awaited him there as well. He and Mowgli got into a territorial conflict when Mowgli was controlling a large portion of Alizanza. As a result, he lost confidence and his lip, which was permanently visible. However, a few months later, he returned with greater self-assurance and succeeded in driving Mowgli out of that region, reclaiming it for himself.
