About the picture

This image of the cubs of tigress Krishna relaxing in a cave was taken in May 2018 in Ranthambhore National Park. The mother and the cubs came to a waterhole in the morning and played in the water for a while. As the temperature started rising, they moved to a secluded area that had a cave with a water body just below it. Krishna and one of her cubs chose to cool off in the water while two of them moved into the cave for their afternoon siesta.
