Enjoy the wonderful tiger photographs below

I would have put my first tiger picture in here if it did not look so useless! Compared to the others we have captured, it would have looked ridiculous. However, at the time, it seemed great! The first trip we came on to India with the cricket tour in 2006 found us in Ranthambhore National Park, and although our fellow travellers in the second jeep luckily saw a tiger cross the road in the morning safari, we did catch a brief glimpse of a tigress lying near the roadside. Our jeep soon scared her away but it was very exciting. Since then, we have been lucky enough to have some tremendous sightings, even in short stays at the parks. We have seen tigers in Bandhavgarh, Kanha and Ranthambhore. We did spend some time in Pench, the Sunderbans and Periyar but saw nothing in these places. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have witnessed the tigers and tigresses in their natural habitat. It is a new thrill every time, and always a challenge to keep the video camera running during the jeep movements! Share the fantastic pictures here and enjoy! I have highlighted some pictures with a purple border. These are ones which can be viewed as larger images if you click on the images below.

These pictures above were all taken at Kanha National Park India, in 2007, again by Lalit, and the ones of the male tiger sleeping on the rocks were taken when we are astride an elephant! It proved hard to video this scene, but it came out very well. Below are three pictures from Kanha National park of a tigress stalking prey. The rest are from Ranthambhore, of the tigress T17 leaving a muddy pool to go back to her own special hiding place the fort!
