Real celebrity
Species name: Tiger
Location : Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, Maharashtra-India
Background story and behavior observed:
Wildlife photography in India is a top-notch exercise. Getting a glimpse of tiger requires lot of struggles between visitors. It is very difficult to get the good action and angle for a good image. It requires good photography skills, subject behavior knowledge, lot of safaris with of course lot of investment to get the perfect shot. "Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve" is one of India's 47 project tiger reserves existing in India. Photographers do lot of safaris to have a glimpse of tiger and record it in their camera. Many times, we have to face disappointment due to dry safaris. Even the celebrities from Bollywood, Tollywood, Foreigners visits Tadoba to see the real celebrities of Jungle.
That day, I was on my 5th safari of the tour and my previous 4 safaris went dry without Tiger sighting. Almost whole day had gone empty with just couple of hours left to end up the 5th safari as well. Suddenly we started hearing a continuous call from the Sambar deer. We stopped our vehicle and started to search the tiger from where there was continuous call. Within a minute several other vehicles stopped beside us and started to look for the tiger. Almost 20 minutes passed there was no movement. But due to continuous sambar deer call we were very sure that the tiger may arrive from somewhere nearby. I was ready with my photography gears. After few minutes, I spotted some movement from the nearby grass land area and the moment for which all of us were waiting has arrived. The Tigress came outside of the grassland and started walking towards us on the road. Watching live tiger in
