Question

what is the reason behind machli's famous across the world ? how did it help the authorities ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In August 2016, Machli the Tiger Queen of Ranthambore died at the ripe old age of 19.

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.

Watch "The World's Most Famous Tiger," part of Big Cat Week on NatGeo WILD, on Tuesday, December 12 at 9/8c.

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.

Many consider Machli to have been the most photographed tiger on Earth, and her image appears in innumerable magazines, newspapers, blogs, calendars, and more.

Kalli Doubleday, a carnivore researcher at the University of Texas, Austin, says she grew up as a big cat lover and remembers watching Machli in documentaries.

But it never occurred to her just how unique this one cat was until she saw news reports that the Forest Department of Rajasthan planned to preserve Machli with taxidermy when she finally died. (Also read how veterinarians performed eye surgery on a tiger.)

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

This didn’t ultimately come to pass, but it inspired Doubleday to study her celebrity, and whether the care she received from humans blurred the lines between her being a domesticated vs. a wild animal.

National Geographic spoke to Doubleday about her research, published in the journal Geoforum in February 2017, to learn just what made this tiger unlike any other.
