Tigers are known for their distinctive roars, which can be heard up to three miles away. Roaring serves various purposes, including attracting mates, communicating with other tigers, and asserting dominance within their territories.

About the picture

These 10-month-old cubs were initially playing with each other for a good 30 minutes. Exhausted, especially since it was peak summer at Tadoba National Park in June of 2018, the cubs decided to take a dip in the muddy pool that was right next to the road. Maya, their mother, was keeping a close eye on them just a few metres away.

Fun Fact

After the Polar Bear, tigers have the largest brain of any carnivore.
