Helter Skelter--The Vegetarians

[Shyamala Kumar]

The arrival of the Alpha male Tiger popularly known as Gabbar at a waterhole referred locally as Telia Lake , in Tadoba last year, caused a general exodus of the vegetarians who were having a relaxing time at the pool.nikon 7100+150-600mm F/8 1/500s ISO400 .

Better to leave the place. Not alarmed. Only the Chital at the front right is a bit excited. The Sambar and lead Chital know that Gabbar is not on hunting expedition for now! Nice moment captured.
Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

The veggies are always in fear in the forest....the image depicts the mood of the forest... King has arrived but not hungry

Nice behaviour captured. There seems to be some movement and some loss of details. Was this taken from a moving gypsy? Thanks for sharing.

I agree with Mrudul. Most of the times in a Safari people get excited and one or the other moves when we are clicking. At times one can also try panning at a lower shutter speed and the effect will be good.

Agree with Sakti da. The deer on the right has its tail half raised. When they are clearly alarmed, the tail is up 90 degrees and there is foot stamping. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

One hind is looking back and by the body posture of them all,some are simply skipping, they are not in a real hurry.They have it under control.
