Tigress With Cubs Near Rajbagh, Zone 6

A tigress with cubs was confirmed near Rajbagh lake in Zone 6 as the 2026 safari season gets underway — the latest in a series of buffer-zone breeding reports that underline Ranthambore's expanding tiger population.

The reserve currently holds 77 tigers (23 tigresses, 25 males, 29 cubs). Cub sightings in Zone 6's Kundal area are especially significant because they demonstrate that buffer territories are functioning as viable breeding habitat — not merely overflow range for crowded core zones.
