Eye to eye with the largest amongst the cats – the bengal tiger. A dream came true when this powerful male walked straight towards our vehicle. In India conservation of tigers is quite the success story. The population recovered to around 2,200 individuals from 1,200 in 1973. In my eyes the most beautiful of the big cats. Just look at the beautiful markings and coloration. Photographed in Tadoba Tiger Reserve, India.
