Tigress T-2, face of tiger revival in Panna dies at 19
Bhopal: The legendary big cat, Tigress T-2, that led one of India's most successful wildlife revival stories at Panna Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh died at the age of about 19 on May 28. The Madhya Pradesh forest department announced the death of Tigress, whose litters are spread across tiger reserves in India on Monday. The death of the T-2 in the Devendra Nagar Forest Range marks the end of an era for Panna Tiger Reserve, which was declared tiger-less in 2009. Tigress T-2 was among the first tigers reintroduced under the Panna Tiger Reintroduction Programme— a flagship conservation effort launched in response to the disappearance of all tigers from the reserve. On March 9, 2009, T-2 was airlifted from Kanha Tiger Reserve to Panna by an Indian Air Force aircraft. It followed Tigress T-1, who had arrived a few days earlier from Bandhavgarh. After spending a brief acclimatization period in a specially prepared enclosure at Badgadi, T-2 was soft-released into the wild — beginning what would become one of India's most successful tiger repopulation journeys. In the following years, T-2 paired with male tiger T-3, brought from Pench Tiger Reserve, and became the foundation of the restored Panna tiger lineage. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The animal gave birth to 21 cubs in 7 litters, with the first recorded in October 2010 and the last in July 2019. The litters were impressively large and healthy, including sets of 4, 3, and even 2 cubs per litter. These cubs went on to disperse and populate other protected areas, many as part of managed reintroduction and natural migration. Today, T-2's genetic legacy spans more than 85 tigers across four generations, and its descendants can be found in tiger reserves and protected landscapes across India, including: Satpura Tiger Reserve (P-211, P-213 (23)), Sanjay Tiger Reserve (P-212, P-213 (33)), Ranipur Wildlife Sanctuary (P-242), Chitrakoot Forest (P-262), Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve (P-213 (21)), Satna Forest Division (Chitrakoot) (P-213 (22)), Madhav National Park, Shivpuri (P-234 23 (22)) and Panna Landscape (P-221, P-231, P-232, P-261). Throughout the nearly two-decade-long life, Tigress T-2 roamed the Hinouta, Gahrighat, Madla, Gangau Sanctuary, and Devendranagar Range — all within the core and buffer areas of Panna Tiger Reserve. She was last documented through camera trap surveillance during Phase-IV monitoring in 2023–24, in the Hinouta Range. Forest officials highlight the tigress's remarkable longevity — living to nearly 19 years, far exceeding the average wild tiger lifespan of 12–15 years. Its sustained health and ability to reproduce over a long period also reflect the success of Panna's habitat management, anti-poaching efforts, and prey base restoration. Officials say T-2 was not just a success story; it was the symbol of hope, resilience, and capacity to repair what was once lost. Its legacy has redefined what conservation in India can achieve. The Panna field director and MP forest department released a joint statement: "We will forever remember T-2 as the mother of Panna. Her life has secured the future of the species in this landscape. Her memory will continue to inspire tiger conservation efforts across the country."

FAA introduces wellness checks for Reagan air traffic controllers
The Federal Aviation Administration has announced extra support for air traffic controllers at Ronald Reagan National Airport following a series of incidents, including an alleged fight between two team members. Damon Marsalis Gaines, 39, was taken into custody by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police Department and charged with assault and battery after the incident on Thursday. The airport authority runs National Airport and Dulles International Airport in Virginia. Now the agency says it will send a critical incident stress management team to the airport to offer confidential support for staff following stressful events, increase operational supervisor staffing from six to eight, review airport certified professional controller staffing numbers and the arrival rate of aircraft per hour. Additionally, the agency intends to conduct regular wellness checks at the facility. The FAA said Gaines, of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, remains on administrative leave as officials investigate the matter. The agency is in the middle of a campaign to recruit air traffic controllers after several aviation disasters this year put the national shortage in the spotlight. The country needs more than 14,000 air traffic controllers and there are currently around 10,800. In January, National Airport suffered a fatal incident when an American Airlines plane collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River, killing 67 people. A National Transportation Safety Board preliminary investigation found the airport had experienced 15,000 near-misses from October 2021 to December 2024. On Friday, the airport had another near-miss incident when a Delta Air Lines flight came close to a US Air Force T-3 jet around 3 p.m. as the military jet flew over the east bank of the river for a flyover ceremony at nearby Arlington National Cemetery. Following the fatal crash, the FAA imposed restrictions on non-commercial traffic flying over the river, with exceptions for emergency, presidential and vice-presidential operations.

Jelly Roll showed up 30 minutes late for the WM Phoenix Open pro-am
Jelly Roll really needed a favor from the starter at the WM Phoenix Open pro-am on Wednesday, but he wasn't about to get it. Tee times, of course, aren't written in pencil but rather etched in pen, especially at a PGA Tour event. But according to Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic, when Jelly Roll's name was called for the 9:50 a.m. tee time on Wednesday, the man originally named Jason Bradley DeFord was nowhere to be found. According to Mackie's piece, the starter joked "Jelly Roll must be on rockstar time." More from the story: Roughly half an hour later, Jelly Roll showed up to the course, where he was hounded for autographs and selfies before eventually joining up with the rest of his group, which features PGA Tour players J.T. Poston and Taylor Moore. Later on Wednesday, Jelly Roll is headlining the opening night of the Coors Light Birds Nest concert series, with Treaty Oak Revival opening. The 2025 WM Phoenix Open is set to begin Thursday at TPC Scottsdale in Arizona. Nick Taylor is the defending champion, beating Charley Hoffman on the second playoff hole a year ago to win the title. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who won this event in 2022 and 2023 before a T-3 last year, is also in the field, as is Hideki Matsuyama, Justin Thomas, Sepp Straka and amateur Luke Clanton, among others.
