Not just seeing Tigers, but tracking them is equally fun. We saw this massive male cross a jungle road, and dear friend Sheshadri Vasan who had prior knowledge of a kill near by knew exactly where we should go to catch sight of him again. We drove to the area, parked our jeep to a corner of the grassland and waited in silence. He came as silently as imaginable, the jungle devoid of warning calls to signal his arrival. I abandoned my long telephoto and picked up a wide angle to capture the animal's habitat: a grassland with beautiful winter greens in dying golden light.
