Picture of the Month
In three trips to India, I had never seen a tiger. With their population down nearly 97% since 1900, and still vulnerable to poaching -- even within the crucial Project Tiger parks -- tigers are simply hard to find.
In Kanha National Park, however, tigers are holding their own, and are seen relatively easily. On our second day, an elephant took us crashing through thick, thorny bush to where this young tiger and its family were resting in the mid-day shade. We only had a few moments in its company, and then withdrew. This was only the first of what would eventually be more than 25 tiger sightings over the next 10 days. One can never see too many tigers.
