After many trips to Tadoba with almost no tiger sightings, we decided to try your luck once more.
What a trip it was sighting tigers in all safaris except one, in which we sighted a black panther and this sloth bear.
This Sloth bear was very shy and came forward very carefully to drink water and left immediately after taking a glance at us.

Your sighting list is mouthwatering. Look forward to all those. Nice sighting of a sloth bear. I like the look on its face. Nice eye contact. Did you shoot horizontal and then crop? Thanks for sharing.

Yes sir, I shot horizontal and then cropped it.
