The Tigress popularly known as Choti Tara,who we talked about in our last post on Tadoba National Park, led her cubs off the tracks into the grasslands adjacent to the tracks.

Cats’ Walk in Tadoba National Park
During one of our safaris at the Tadoba Nationa Park, the noise level was slowly getting to us, thanks to the restless tourists in the many jeeps wanting to get a closer look at Choti Tara (Tigress) and her cubs. Given that we were the first jeep, we kept the right distance from the resting […]

In search of Leopards
A few years ago my wife and I traveled to Sri Lanka in the hopes of seeing and photographing Leopards in Yala NP. One of the few places in the world were they are reportedly active in daylight hours. We were somewhat disappointed with result, one sighting over three days and then having to put […]
