Telia Tigress Cubs : New hope for 2012

[Atul Dhamankar]

In last week of year 2011, I finally got the decent image of very playful Telia Tigress cubs. These are 4 cubs and very shy. This is a new Hope for Tadoba's tiger in 2012. They are in a nullah but always behind bamboo. I tried very hard to focus on them, but bamboo leaves are not gave clear view.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all.

Nice image. Natural colours.One of the cubs(may be the male)showing penetrating eyes,other is indifferent.I have seen this behavorial difference between male and female cubs in this age group. But I am basically a wanderer with limited experience,so it may not be conclusive.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Happy new year..!!

Lovely cubs. The eye contact as observed by Saktipadaji, surely shows the behavior difference in both the cubs. Wish there was slight more space on the right. Thanks for sharing.

The eye contact with the cub on top is nice. Some more space at the bottom would have been even better. At times one can only wait for the cubs to come out of the dense vegetation to get a clear image. Thanks for sharing.
