This is another one which is my favorite , a cub with an attitude.

Can you see his nails ? :001_unsure::001_smile:

Rare sighting. Nice image. The eye-sight of the cubs are in the initial stage of development. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

P.S.: In Kanha, some Field Directors were not giving permission for approaching such young cubs from elephant's back.

It would really be an amazing experience to watch these cubs in action. Good you could get both of them looking towards you. There is a green line (grass stalk?) near the face of the cub on the right. Thanks for sharing.

This is an amazing sighting! That you could get so close while the mother was away....does it not have the potential to disturb and bring harm to the cubs at this stage of their lives, if the mother gets unsettled and relocates to a place not as good as this den?

Again a brilliant habitat shot, just shows how deep into the jungle this place is. I wonder how you reached this place, hope the cubs didnt get scared/disturbed. The mother on its return would have sensed the insecurity of the cubs and also figured that its den has been discovered. They may change their location soon. Thanks for sharing.
