Ranthambore 2017 - Day 1

Image
 We started the full day trip to Ranthambore with a bang, within the first hour we were greeted by Noor (T39).We had the pleasure of photographing her for a long time as the tigress is rather bold.  After Noor receded into a water hole far away we came across the pug marks of a  tiger cub. We followed the pug marks to find  T60 and three cubs sitting in shade a few feet away from the road. Very soon they crossed the road and went into shrubs to further cool down. The images below are of Noor, T60 and T60's cubs.

However, it was around 12 when she succeeded and dragged her kill across a river bed and into a small water hole.
