Have you wondered how tender, on the other side : how rough this tongue can turn out to be. I often point/present it out that tigers are very similar to domestic cats and we all know they belong to the very same cat family of-course. They use similar techniques their cousins follow to stay clean, tidy & hygienic in fact. Their rough tongues act like a royal comb, which can remove dirt from the deepest corners possible, even assist them in losing their own hairs and dirt from their fur. This very delicate n tender grooming process involves a pinch of an oil secreted from their glands, as a result it keeps their fur coat in silky good condition.

Out for a stroll, a young and enthusiastic little tiger cub is seen confidently walking along with its mother.

A Tiger also falls under the cat category because it belongs to the biological family Felidae, which includes all cats such as lions, leopards, and domestic cats.Well, tigers are specifically classified as “big cats” in the genus Panthera.

Documented at Tadoba andheri tiger reserve, Maharashtra-India.

As a tiger tracker and field naturalist, I’ve been fortunate enough to witness and document the incredible journey of mother tigresses and their cubs : from their first tiny steps to their final days together. Sharing here a special combined collection celebrating the timeless bond between a tigress and her little ones.

Monsoons are definitely the right time to Photograph royal Bengal tigers along with such exotic wild tonnes, imagine documenting such an orange coated species among lush green tonnes, that's purely a deadly combination. Worth the efforts & time invested in the field.

Out there in the wild, there does occur a very realistic maternal bonding just like in between us humans. This frame is a live example of the statement made above.

No matter how grown up, I am still your boyy mumma said the sub adult male tiger. Such visuals are always a treat to watch and it can be witnessed at tadoba forest reserve during monsoon, especially those green shades is definitely a flavour to experience.

Sundari & Her tiny tots : Ever since her entry into the tourism zone I have had the privileges to get her on track in exclusive, not just once but "N" number of times. She is the current heart throb of mohurli buffer and the crowd is rushing over to this once least opted & most engaging gates of tadoba : Agarzhari Buffers. Magical experience i would say, do not be hesitant to opt Agarzhari buffers if you are planning to visit tadoba in exclusive the mohurli zone which is the most happening zones this season.
