Tiger at Waterhole in Tadoba

Tiger at Waterhole in Tadoba. Updated the image corrected the color of water. Kept the old image for comparison.

Captured this stunning young male tiger, approximately 4 years old, known as the Katejari male in Tadoba National Park (TATR) during an afternoon safari. We followed an alarm call and saw him crossing a firebreak (a forest gap made to prevent fires). Knowing his usual route, we anticipated he’d approach the waterhole. After patiently waiting for some time, he arrived. The tiger gently stepped onto the stones, testing the water’s temperature with a gentle touch, took a few sips, crossed the water, and vanished into the dense foliage.
