India is home to half the world’s tiger population.
For many years, 19-year-old Machli had been the star attraction at Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan, one of India’s most prominent wildlife parks.
Known as the “Queen of Ranthambore,” she became famous after battling a four-meter long crocodile and was featured in several wildlife documentaries.
