A complete transformation at Tadoba this summer, while I visited Tadoba last summer I photographed most of the tigers in the man-made concrete water tubs. However this summer all tiger images that I shot are in natural water holes especially in the lakes. This is one such image of one of the Teila siblings belonging to the famous Telia Family. It was amazing to watch her come out in the open and gulp few liters of water; however the noisy lapwings and an egret that can be seen in the frame diverted her attention.
We were also fortunate to see the some great natural history moments like Tiger face to face with a Sloth Bear, another highlight of the trip was Waghdoh male whom we initially spotted on the other side of Telia Lake, he then walked for a distance and believe me he swam across the lake and started heading towards us. It was amazing to watch this chap swim; he has been spotted on around this area on several occasions and still united with his daughters. I will share his images while swimming shortly. Until then stay tuned for more interesting images from Tadoba, a true land of tigers.
