Tiger Mating Pair in Panna Tiger National Park

Panna Tiger Mating Pair

Panna Tiger Mating Pair. Found this pair on the early morning safari in Panna National Park. I entered from the madla gate which is better as this is closer to the good areas. The other gates are further and take time to reach the currently good areas, although you can reach any area of the park through any gate.  The male is standing after mating with this female. They were in the open for quite some time. After some time […]

Tiger Cubs Playing

Tiger Cubs Playing

Tiger Cubs Playing as their Mother watches.  As the cubs grow these play fights and games are critical in fine tuning their skills of hunting, stalking and fighting.  Under the watchful eyes of the mother they practise their skills.  The tigress known as DB in Kanha is probably the most sighted tigress currently in kanha. We had a few great sightings of the family while the cubs played around. Photographed with nikon d4s + 200-400vr lens Best photos in Portfolio […]

Eye of the Tiger in Kanha National Park

Eye of the Tiger

Eye of the Tiger. This image was shot a year ago during one of my photography tours in Kanha. This tiger was quite close for a 600mm and I tried this composition and focused on just the eye which for a few moments was in spot light. The color image is good however I like the monochrome version. Eye of the Tiger Sometimes when you have to shoot with just one lens you choose what is best with that camera […]

Tiger Siblings in Waterhole

Tiger Siblings in Waterhole in Bandhavgarh National park. One of my favourite tiger parks and favourite zone tala. This sighting happened a few years ago when sightings in tala had almost diminished.

The curious expression of these two make this interesting. Best images in Portfolio Find the […]

Tigress Maya Feared Dead in Tadoba

Tigress Maya Feared Dead in Tadoba. In Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, Tigress Maya, the former queen, is now surrounded by mystery, with speculation about skeletal remains possibly being hers, suggesting a natural passing at the age of 13.

Even amidst bustling crowds and vehicles, she would […]
