My first wild tiger photo was taken at Bandipur earlier this month.The honour goes to Mr.Kuntu who has a genetic disfiguration to its left front leg.But it is not an obstruction for hunting down prey......He was resting in a water hole when we saw him and cooled off for more than 10 minutes....

Nice to see this huge mail from Bandipur. Why is he given the name Kuntu? :). Thanks for sharing.
Kuntu? ha ha ha. It would be interesting to read the tiger's mind. Wonder what names the tiger would have given to the tourists. I am not sure it would be something pleasant. :)
Super image......
nice image of Huge male from Bandipur... if full body of tiger is covered in frame it would have been better....
kUNTA IN KANNADA MEANS THE GUY WHO LIMPS WHILE WALKING...
