Tiger is one of the most powerful predators in today's animal world, with the title of "King of the Hundred Beasts", there are currently 6 subspecies of tigers in the world, and among these 6 kinds of tigers, the Bengal tiger is the most numerous, but also the most ferocious one, most of the more famous tiger kings in the world are basically Bengal tigers, and the tiger standing at the top of these tiger kings is Chagil.
Some people say that Chagil's strength in the Tiger King is only general, it can have such a high popularity, basically rely on marketing, in fact, no matter what, Chagil is indeed worthy of the title of "Legendary Tiger King".
Legendary Tiger King Chagil
Chagil's life is basically a true portrayal of a male tiger, but because of its fierce nature, so compared to the average male tiger, Chagil prefers challenges, its life, basically in the conquest, the most brilliant time the entire Bandaga National Park is within its jurisdiction, we have reason to believe that if it is not limited by the size of the park, Chagil's territory is far more than this.
We don't see a lot of video material about Chaggil on the Internet, because it's so fierce that even veteran wildlife photographers don't dare to get close to it.
1984 was a memorable year in India's Bandaga National Park, where the legendary Tiger King Chagil was born. Unlike some famous scenes in the TV series, there is no lightning and thunder in the birth of Chagil in reality. Chagil's name is transliterated from "charger", which translates to "attacker", which was already reflected in his early years.
Chagil was born in the prime of the Tiger King Barka, the most powerful Tiger King in the entire Bandaga National Park, but in 1987, when he was 3 years old, Chagil first challenged him.
Chagil in his infancy
The first challenge did not happen miraculously, and the prime-aged Tiger King Barka naturally defeated Chagil, who had just come of age. It takes 2-3 years for tigers to reach sexual maturity, but at this time their physical fitness is not very strong, and their survival and combat experience is even more rare, so I am not surprised that Chagil did not defeat the prime-aged Barka. The surprise was that Barka did not kill Chagil at that time, and he was also injured, which shows that even if he has just reached adulthood, Chagil is still very strong.
Prime-aged Barka
After the failure of the first challenge to the largest Tiger King in the region, Chagil enters the stage of "obscene development", in which he harasses Barka from time to time and engages in small-scale round-robin battles with him, while challenging other Tiger Kings and occupying their territory. As a result of being challenged by Chagil in 1987 and growing older, Barka's prestige slowly declined, apparently a little more than enough to control a large number of territories.
By the way, the Chakara hala steppe at that time could be divided into two parts: Zemunia and Gobalpur, and Chagil, who had experienced the stage of "obscene development", finally occupied the Zemunia region at the end of 1988 and became a presence that could compete with the Tiger King Barka.
Chagil in his prime
Chagil was destined to be a legendary tiger king who was not willing to accept the status quo, and after occupying Zemunia, it still did not stop its conquest and continued to expand its territory to the surrounding area, and eventually except for a small part of Gobarpur that was still occupied by Barka, the entire Bandaga National Park was almost under the rule of Chagil. During his military career, as his prestige was built, Chagil also underwent some minor changes in appearance, such as the gradual growth of thick hairs on his face, making it look more fierce.
In 1989, Chagil was already a 5-year-old tiger, this stage was the tiger's physical fitness was at its peak, and Barka was already 10 years old at the time, although it had not yet reached the stage of old age, but the physical fitness had shown a declining situation, and Chagil, who saw the opportunity, launched a final declaration of war against Balka.
Barka is still a tough tiger king in the end, even in the face of the prime-aged Chagil, still stubbornly carried for 3 years. After Barka's defeat, his two sons fled quickly to avoid being killed by Chagil.
Chagil kills the cubs
Barka's defeat marked the heyday of Chagil, who deservedly became the largest king in Bandaga National Park, where chagil's most urgent task was to find a spouse and give birth to his own offspring. In wild animals, reproduction is a big thing, whether it is the dominance of male lions or the dominance of tigers, the purpose is to compete for mating rights.
After entering the Chakarlahara steppe, Chagil took possession of Barka's wife and mated with two tigresses. Unfortunately, the cubs born to one of the tigresses died quickly, which became Chagil's biggest heart disease at that time.
Tiger Queen Theta
Until 1993, the tigress Sita gave birth to the first litter of cubs for Chagil, with a wife and a baby Chagil, had a happy time, until 1997, Sita died, Chagil appeared very lonely, and after two years, Chagil is 16 years old, which is relatively rare in wild tigers, equivalent to the advanced age of human beings 70 years old, at this time Chagil, the body has already begun to decline, it is too old to catch up with its prey. The two grandsons, "B1" and "B2", saw the opportunity and constantly challenged Chagil.

Finally, in July 2000, Chagil was fatally wounded by b2 in a battle, which gave it a heavy blow, but Chagil, as a generation of Tiger King, still had the ability to escape. After the defeat, it can only wander the edge of the park, living by collecting the remains of other tigers, which is very desolate.
The director of the Park Authority, Who is Chagil's biggest fan, couldn't take it anymore to see such a depraved Chagil, so he took Chagil to a farm to take care of it until September, with Chagil's death, marking the end of the Tiger King in bandaga national park.
Elderly Chagil
Throughout Chagil's life, basically either in the conquest or on the way to the conquest, the betrayal of his relatives in his later years is very desolate, but this is the cruel survival law of nature, especially the male tiger, fighting for the right to mate is a necessary process.
