You call him the ‘King of Kanha’ or The Apex Predator - Munna is the oldest tiger of Kanha National park and the living pride of the park. Renowned for its stripes on the forehead that represents the word ‘CAT’ and ‘PM’ (prime male or prime minister), this furious T-17 cat mostly strays and preys in Kisli zone of the park. Despite being quite old, around 14 years, Munna is still a monarch in Kanha National Park and fascinates visitors just the same. In his 15 years of life, Munna has become a human-friendly tiger and is used to of jeeps and humans in his territory. Now, through this blog, we’ll take you on a short journey of his enthralling life, which you probably won’t find anywhere else. So, let’s start!
Story behind His Name...Once Munna injured his hind foot in a territorial fight with another tiger and was limping. That was the time when guides saw him, and his condition reminds them of one of their peers, who was affected by polio, and thus, used to walk with a limp. That’s the moment when the name struck on.

Welcome to Local Guides Connect!
Very interesting story about the alpha male tiger Munna. On the pictures, he looks like a so nice and calm cat. According to your story, he kind of is now. But his wildlife past is remarkable. You are saying that he was not only killing other tigers but even humans. Is it confirmed? And how many people he killed approximately?
BTW, I am moving your post from Photography to Local Stories because it is mostly a local story about the tiger.

I found reading your post about Munna very interesting @hrishigrapher even though I'm not one for keeping animals out of their natural habitat.
