About the picture

This image of the majestic male tiger was taken in Bandhavgarh National Park in April 2010. Just as the sun was breaking out early in the morning, we heard alarm calls of Spotted deer and Sambar and within a few minutes we saw this huge and beautiful male walking across in front of us. It was a perfect setting and the light was at its best when this image was taken.

Fun Fact

A Siberian tiger has almost 20,000 hairs per square inch, or about 3,000 hairs in a single sq. cm of skin.
