Nice cosy environment for normal rest in shade in the late summer morning. Tiger is active say, upto 8 a.m. After that it is either rest or sleep till late afternoon, unless disturbed. Only on one occasion, I have observed a chital herd running for life setting almost a storm with flying dry leaves inside tree forest in Kanha at around 10.30 a.m.
It looks like that the tigress had a meal during the night or in the early morning. Nice capture.
