The Second Queen

[Debasis Bose]

This is the second queen of Dhikala Male, her territory starts from Kamarpatta road to Biccho Bhauji and extends to part of the grassland adjoining Dhikala FRH.

That is a sight that I really want to see for myself one day.

Its an amazing feeling to see a tiger emerge from the bushes and cross the road in front of you. These images reminds me of a similar sighting of B2(male tiger) in Bandhavgarh national park. In the first image I think there was a movement and so the face of the tigress is not in focus. You could have used a higher ISO and shutter speed. Thanks for sharing.

P.S - As per the forum rules only one image is allowed per post in Mammals section. In future please make a new post for a second image. Thanks.

Second image is nice. While the first lady looks elegant, the second may be stockier but my concern is that the present King should be able to rule Dhikala Chaur for another one and a half year. A delightful Dec 2016 is waiting for you. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

Nice..it is always heartening to know that their tribe is increasing. Agree with mrudul that the light seems decent to support a higher shutter . I wud prefer slightly under exposing a scene like this.

I guess the image was much bigger so the software compressed it to 1023x613 and it lost details.
