Tigress from Tadoba

[Murugan Anantharaman]

Sharing a picture of the telia tigress who gave birth to cubs late 2015. I made this picture when I was last in a national park in India October-2015. The cubs were just a few weeks old when we got to see them with the mother. That was the first time I had seen such small new born cubs...was pretty amazing. Here's a picture of the mother with her royal stride paving the way before the cubs could cross....we moved away and did not want to frighten the cubs hence did not make much pictures with the cubs in frame.

Nikon D7000, f/8,SS 1/800, ISO 1600, focal length 86mm...quite close

Beautiful coat and nice striding pose. you were really lucky to sight such young cubs crossing with the mother. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image. It can clearly be seen that the tigress is lactating and would have cubs nearby. I consider watching a tigress with small cubs as a blessing. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
