Machali (tigress)
Machli, also known as Machali, (Devanagari मछली), Hindi for "fish"; Code name: T-16;〔 born around 1997) is one of the most famous tigresses. She is an iconic figure of Ranthambore National Park in India. Machali is celebrated with titles such as ''"Queen Mother" of tigers'', ''Tigress Queen of Ranthambore'', ''Lady of the Lakes'' and ''Crocodile Killer''.
== History ==
Machali was born in 1997. Formerly, she was known as "Jhalara". It is a location of the park site where the tigress used to live. She was named ''fish'' due a fish-shaped mark that had been seen on her mother's face. Originally, the name Machali derived or passed from her mother to daughter who had a fork-like mark on her face. She gave birth to eleven tiger cubs, including seven females and four males.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Machali – Life stories )〕 The progeny of Machali increased the tiger population in the park and made about 60% of tigers of her lineage. Also, she was keen to protect her cubs from threats including from male tigers and other animals.
She is famously known for her hunting skill and strength when killing a 14 foot long mugger crocodile. Due the crucial fight she lost a couple of canine teeth.〔 A report says that India had earned about USD 10 million per year due to tourists attracted by the tigress for the last ten years.〔 She won the "Lifetime Achievement Award" of ''Travel Operators For Tigers'' due to her contribution to conservation and tourist attraction that earned significant economy for India.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Tigress Queen of Ranthambore- The Machli )〕
Today, she has lost almost all of her teeth, territories and strength due to aging. She is 19 years old (as of May 2015), higher than the average 10- to 15-year lifespan of tigers in the wild.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Basic Facts About Tigers )〕
