These are some sights that dont come so easy. Dream for some that fortunately became reality for me.. We spotted the tigress growling, looking for her cubs and we waited patiently for something to happen.. Soon we could see one of her cubs behind the bush, gingerly coming out to have a sip of water. What followed next, was not expected. All of her cubs, 4 in nos., came out, one by one and started quenching their thirst. And I finally got for this wonderful view, with their reflection, that will be etched to my memories for a long long time..

Happy Mother's Day..
A mother tigress with a litter of 4 young cubs..

A tigress is one of the most perfect mothers to inhabit this planet. She takes on the responsibilities of every aspect in the development of her young into independent adults. To the female cubs she passes on the methods of raising cubs. After the suckling period, she has the added burden of providing kills for feeding her cubs too. She teaches all her young the methods of stalking and outwitting their prey. Her patience and tolerance is infinite.
Until they are old enough to fend for themselves, she takes care of all her cubs' needs and requirements. Once they are capable of being independent individuals, mostly when they are past the age of 2 years, she encourages them to move out and find their own territories and position in the jungle.

Tigress Maya on a warm afternoon..
Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve, India.
March, 2015.

This has to be one of my toughest clicks till now.. There were a lot of vehicles ahead of me and beyond the bushes, far away, we saw Maya coming for a drink. I had to climb up the safari vehicle, with just railing bars to keep my feet on, hand holding a heavy 600mm prime with a 1DX, I finally managed to get a clear shot. Happy to have a steady shot..
