I had photographed this Tiger cub with tumor in Bandhavgarh National Park. This cub had lot of character. Increasingly, animals will have such problems due to pollution.

I would have been happy if it would have turned its head a bit towards me. Would love to hear your views.
I have seen a tumor similar to this on a adult female elephant , except that it was much longer - the entire length of her stomach. I do not know what happened to her. However I saw another large growth or tumor on the hind leg of an elephant calf. The calf must have been about a few months old. While it was walking with a pronounced limp , it seemed otherwise healthy . However its family kept close to it and I was able to observe them over a period of about two months.This family group moved around quite a bit and the calf was able to keep up. I observed that the tumor was reducing in size and after two months it had totally disappeared. The calf survived.I have the whole incident on videotape. I was using a handycam at that time and whenever I saw this group I would film them. I have seen elephants with wounds spraying it with mud. I will post a photograph of a tusker doing the same.
