Tiger | Canon 18-55

[Bhargava Srivari]

Another Tiger image with the 18-55; it is the same sighting of T-17 from which I posted an image about a year ago. Hope to see this very bold and confident mother of three cubs make a return; as many have said, it would be difficult to see her leave the story incomplete. But having come back from Ranthambhore only a day ago, and having talked to several forest guards, guides, villagers and experts...hope have dwindled and it does look like her cubs are going to have a tough time ahead.

Nice to see 'Sundari' walking confidently in her habitat. Wish she will come back. Mother Nature, if need be, will give the emotional strength and some good luck to her three cubs to grow up.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice environment photograph. It is surely is sad to know that her cubs will suffer. As Saktipadaji has said hope she comes back and Mother nature takes their care. Thanks for sharing.
