[/b]Machli a Bengal Tigress, born in 1997, was the dominant cub in a litter of three females. She inherited her name from her mother, Machli I, who was also named fish due to a fish-shaped mark on her face. In her first two years, she started hunting on her own and took over a part of her mother's territory.[b]

[/b]Over the period of seven years, from 1999 to 2006, Machali had four litters and gave birth to eleven cubs – seven females and four males. Machali's offspring increased the tiger population in the park significantly – from 15 tigers in 2004, to 50 tigers in 2014[b]

[/b]The Bengal tigress, which dominated a prime, 350-square-mile territory within India’s Ranthambore National Park, became a favorite among tourists for her tenacity in the face of incredible odds.Many considers Machli to be the most photographed Tiger that ever lived, her images gracing magazines, newspapers, blogs, calendars, and more.

People wanting to see the tigress earned the park approximately $10 million each year, and the wildlife officials were wary of losing their star.[b]

[/b]WHAT MADE MACHLI SPECIAL?

In addition to living much longer than most other wild tigresses, which usually top out around 15 years of age, Machli killed a 14-foot crocodile, defended her territory against much larger male tigers, and raised cubs even after she’d lost her canine teeth and the use of one eye.[b]

[/b]Due to old age and losing her canine teeth.

hunting became so hard for Machli, and her fans worldwide became so scared of losing this majestic queen to death.
It became unbefitting for her to starve to death, because that’s what would have happened in nature.
That outpouring of international love for her essentially provoked the Forest Department of Rajasthan to feed her.

And there were people advocating on all sides, people wanting her to be captured and put into a zoo so that she could be fed, so that she could be groomed and taken care of. There were other people who said that doing so would completely undignified her.

The Forest Department decided that to appease all sides, the best thing to do would be to leave her in Ranthambore, her wild place, but to care for her by providing food for her.
They were tethered. Literally, they would walk out a goat or something else and tether it to a pole where she usually fed.[b]

[/b]On 18th of August 2016, Machli died.

Naturally, in a kind of Machli form, she retreated, with a lot of dignity, and one day just went and laid down and didn’t wake up. And when she was discovered… it really is just an emotional and impressive thing.

She was given basically a traditional Hindu death. She was wrapped in white linen with flower garlands put all over her body. All of the forest guards that were there stood at attention when she was cremated.[b]
