Did you know?

Tigers are predominantly crepuscular, meaning they are most active during dawn and dusk. This behaviour allows them to take advantage of the low light conditions for hunting while avoiding the intense midday heat.

About the picture

This image of a tigress walking on a bridge was taken in Ranthambhore National Park in December 2017. Her velvety-rich winter coat looks wonderful in the soft winter light. Tigers in Ranthambhore love using this bridge that leads to the ruins of a palace outpost where they can rest undisturbed.

Fun Fact

Tigers cannot purr. When they are happy or feel safe, they squint or close their eyes.
