Ustad T.24

This morning I received sad news from India that this well known and loved male tiger known as Ustad formerly of Ranthambhore had passed away.  For the last few years of his life he had been kept in captivity at a zoo in Udaipur and although many people had petitioned for his release it had not been permitted.  More recently he had been suffering from health problems and I understand that he died from a wound infecction. Perhaps at 17 years of age and not in good health his passing is a happy release for this elderly tiger. RIP Ustad you will always be remembered.  More on this wonderful tiger can be see by clicking here
