Tigers are the largest members of the cat family and are renowned for their power and strength. Over the last 100 years, hunting and forest destruction have reduced tiger populations from hundreds of thousands of animals to perhaps fewer than 2,500. Tigers are hunted as trophies, and also for body parts that are used in traditional Chinese medicine. All five remaining tiger subspecies are endangered, and many protection programs are in place.
Tigers live alone and aggressively scent-mark large territories to keep their rivals away. They are powerful nocturnal hunters that travel many miles to find buffalo, deer, wild pigs, and other large mammals. Tigers use their distinctive coats as camouflage (no two have exactly the same stripes). They lie in wait and creep close enough to attack their victims with a quick spring and a fatal pounce. A hungry tiger can eat as much as 60 pounds (27 kilograms) in one night, though they usually eat less.
Despite their fearsome reputation, most tigers avoid humans; however, a few do become dangerous maneaters. These animals are often sick and unable to hunt normally, or live in an area where their traditional prey has vanished.

Berda Female sub-adult cub snarls at us. She was lying to close to a kill. Any moment in the safari vehicle made her snarl. Not a comfortable feeling seeing a Tiger snarling so close. It sends a shiver doen your spine.

First morning and 15minutes after entering Bandhavgarh we saw our first tiger! This younger female had been in a fight, injuries to her face and a torn ear.
This Sumatran Tiger was beautiful. She roared ar me and flicked her tail- she seemed very keen to get close! It must be a phenomenal experience to see a predator like this in the wild.
they get up every early, and do something they like. In chinese, they is a words: Two tigers would never coexist in the same mountain. It mean that If two men ride on a horse, one must ride behind. But this picture show that the words is right except a male live with a female.
Tiger at Tyavarekoppa Lion and Tiger Safari
At a distance of less than 3 meters from the vehicle, this was the closest shot I had of a Tiger. A little tremble in my hands, blurred some of the other shots. This was a clean one :) Luckily the tiger was only curious and then went away to lie down in the shade
