Ranthambore Tigress Arrowhead Dies At 14. Watch Her Last Walk

Last Updated: A heartfelt Instagram post by a wildlife photographer featured a video capturing the final walk of Arrowhead, the beloved tigress of Ranthambore. Arrowhead, the tigress who once dominated the core of Rajasthan's Ranthambore, has passed away at the age of 14. A touching video shared by a wildlife photographer captures her final moments, offering a glimpse into her last few hours. According to NDTV, Tigress Arrowhead (T-84), a favourite among wildlife enthusiasts and Ranthambore visitors, died earlier this week. Her death occurred just hours after her daughter was moved to another tiger reserve. The news of Arrowhead's death has deeply saddened wildlife photographers, forest staff, and frequent safari visitors. One of them, nature photographer Sachin Rai, had been following her story since she was a cub. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Rai shared a video of what he described as her 'last walk," recorded near Padam Talab on June 17. In his post, Rai recalled witnessing Arrowhead's final moments on the evening of June 17. 'On the evening of June 17th, I witnessed what would likely be the last walk of the legendary tigress Arrowhead. It was heartbreaking to see her struggle, attempting to rise and take a few feeble steps before collapsing again," he wrote in his lengthy post. He described how Arrowhead, weakened by illness, moved with great difficulty, barely managing a few steps before resting beneath a tree. 'Each movement was a visible effort. In that quiet moment, I knew in my heart that the end was near," he added. But Rai's tribute extended beyond those last moments. He looked back on her remarkable journey—from a young cub to a dominant tigress who once claimed the very lands her mother ruled. 'I have followed Arrowhead's journey since she was a tiny cub. From those early days to watching her grow into a powerful tigress, every chapter of her life was a testament to resilience," he also explained. Posted on June 19, the video has garnered over 6.3 million views, drawing an outpouring of love and grief from social media users who were moved by Arrowhead's final moments. A user said, 'Heartbreaking to see a tiger like this." Another wrote, 'So graceful and resilient. Even in these last few moments. A symbol of strength." 'A wonderful legacy, but my heart breaks to see this queen in pain. She is now at peace," a user wrote on Instagram. 'May the queen find the eternal rest she deserves," an individual commented. Who was Arrowhead? Arrowhead came from Ranthambore's famed tiger lineage, being the daughter of Krishna (T-19) and the granddaughter of the iconic tigress Machhli (T-16). Known to many as the 'Queen of Ranthambore', she held a special place in the hearts of wildlife lovers. Forest officials reportedly revealed that she had been suffering from advanced bone cancer and was being closely monitored during her final weeks.
