Tigress Arrowhead (T‑84), granddaughter of legendary Machhli and daughter of Krishna, died at 14 from bone cancer in Ranthambore. Her passing occurred just hours after her daughter, Kankati (T‑2507), was relocated to Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve, a move prompted by the cub’s involvement in fatal human‑wildlife conflicts. Known as the “Queen of Ranthambore” and “Lady of the Lake,” Arrowhead was famed for her rare crocodile hunts most recently downing one near Padam Talab just days before her death. She leaves behind a significant legacy: four litters and ten cubs, with at least six surviving. Forest officials honored her cremation under NTCA protocol, and her last moments were memorialized by wildlife photographers, guides and the park community. (PC: BCCI & X)
