Overview

Yet Maya's legend had been years in the making. Born in 2010 and orphaned early, she grew into a tigress of striking composure. She hunted in the open, carried her kills past idling jeeps and often paused before cameras as if aware of the attention she drew from admiring humans. Her calm around people, hold over a vast and contested territory and fierce care for her cubs pushed Maya's story far beyond Tadoba's forest roads.

Reviews

Maya was truly exceptional. The moment you entered her territory, you felt her authority-brave, intelligent and unmistakably regal. Even when unseen, her presence was felt. To control such a vast forest for years was an extraordinary feat of skill, strength and strategy. Her sudden disappearance remains unexplained ... Survival spares no one-not even a tigress. Anant Sonawane captures Maya's story with such clarity that we feel as though we are witnessing it ourselves. This is more than a book; it is the life journey of a being who shared our world, and a reminder of the countless creatures around us-and of our responsibility towards them.' - UDDHAV THACKERAY, former chief minister, Maharashtra
