Animals of India #43 : Romance in the rains - Bengal Tiger - Final Part

Bengal TigerWe hope you enjoyed the first three parts of this thrilling wildlife spectacle that we experienced at the Tadoba Tiger Reserve. The fourth and final part of this series captures the posturing and expressions of the restless male Tiger.

He was a massive, ferocious Tiger and no wonder the territorial male gave way to him. There were times during this sighting when I felt the hair at the back of my neck stand up on hearing the Tiger roar.This was our second visit to the Tadoba national park and with such memorable sightings of the Tiger and a stay at a campsite called 'Serai Tiger', who provide excellent luxury tented accommodation facilities.

Without much ado, here we get up close and personal with this majestic king of the Indian wilderness. It is a pity that such a wonderful animal is today an endangered species.
All images are taken with the D300, 300mm f2.8 mounted on a mono pod.Bengal TigerBengal TigerBengal TigerBengal TigerBengal Tiger

That second picture almost jumps from the screen. Excellent.
And, yes, a tragedy that these magnificent animals are in danger.

Fantastic, at 300mm the distance must have been quite short, I wouldn't be able to hold a camera steady with or without a monopod........
