Species: Bengal Tigress | Location: Kanha National Park & Tiger Reserve, Central India, India
Serendipitous one-on-one encounter with our jeep, as we stopped to photograph a sambar deer. This tigress was seen in the background, perhaps fifty yards away. The deer soon sensed it and bolted into the woods across the road in front of us. The tigress strode confidently toward us as she picked up her pace to pursue her prey. This photo was taken just as our driver re-started the engine to back up to a safer distance. Those piercing eyes and that muscular physique are unforgettable, as she gave one look at us, just a few yards away, before following the trail of the deer.
