first photos of bengal tigers from India
Over the years we've been wowed by stunning photographs of wild tigers, especially from India. But have you ever wondered who took the first photograph of a tiger in the wild? When? Where?
Well, here it is. Shot in 1925. The photographer: An Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer.
*This image is copyright of its original author
Who was this IFS officer you ask? Well, he is a name familiar to most conservationists - Frederick Walter Champion, better known as F.W. Champion.
A 1921 batch officer, F.W. Champion served the forests of United Provinces (now UP & Uttarakhand) right until 1947. Unlike most

officers of his era, Champion loathed shooting for sport, preferring photographing wildlife instead. He in fact had been trying to get a tiger image even before getting into IFS (he was in the British Indian Army before IFS). It took him 8 long years to finally get these images!
*This image is copyright of its original author
These 3 tiger images, taken in the Kumaon forests, were first published on the Front Page of the prestigious 'The Illustrated London News' on Oct 3, 1925. The accompanying headline read:
"A Triumph of Big Game Photography: The First Photographs of Tigers in the Natural Haunts"
*This image is copyright of its original author
For photographer friends, Champion even gave what we today call the EXIF details:
"...although the photograph of the tiger pulling his kill was taken at 1-50 sec. on a special rapid plate; suitable exposures are from 1-150 to 1-200 sec., with f6.8 on an ultra-rapid plate..."
*This image is copyright of its original author
Champion christened the photography technique that got him the first images of tigers in the wild as "trip-wire photography", where a tiger (or any other animal) tripped on a wire carefully concealed below his usual walking path resulting in him taking his own image, usually by the night as the flashes connected to the wire went off simultaneously. One of the published captions in The Illustrated London News read:
"These photographs", he [Champion] writes, in a letter that accompanied them, "are quite unique, no satisfactory photographs ever having been taken before, to my knowledge, of tigers in their native haunts." What does the tiger himself think about it? "The flash is so sudden," says Mr. Champion, "that he probably takes it for a flash of lightning."
Champion's technique would be further refined from the late 80s onwards to eventually evolve into what today is better known as "camera-trap photography", the standard method for tiger census & monitoring across India. This is why Champion is often regarded as the "father of camera-trap photography". He'd also go on to write two absolutely fantastic books titled "With a Camera in Tigerland" (1927) and "Jungle in Sunlight and Shadow" (1933), with dozens of stunning portraits of Indian wildlife taken in their natural habitat. These inspired many hunters, including Jim Corbett, to give up their guns for cameras.

"Shiva" , son of legendary male Wagdoh.
He is huge like his father , carbon copy of father and the only son who looks exactly like his father.
Age around 13 years , he is dominate male tiger of Kolsa region . His territory is huge like his father . From Kolsa core region to buffer of Kolsa like Mamla , Pangdi , Zhari & Keslaghat.
Even big male tigers like Dadiyal , Paras , Jr.shivaji and others were forced to stay out because of presence of this big male tiger in the region.
As compare to Wagdoh , Shiva is shy and not very regularly seen in tourism zone.

RE: B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India - Rage2277 - 07-02-2022
last male is Taru and Bajrang appears to be going at it with one of the younger boys i think mowgli and paaras's younger bro @Roflcopters
RE: B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India - Roflcopters - 07-02-2022
isn’t Paras another name for Taru. also Bajrang has been going at it for some time now. i’m surprised at how long he has survived and ruled core for. no male in the history of tadoba came close to matching Bajrang’s territory size, number of cubs he sired and the number of years he ruled core. from 2013 to 2022. at some point, i think history will repeat itself and he might end up in the buffers for good.
RE: B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India - Rage2277 - 07-02-2022
they're confusing Taru with mowgli's bro and i think it was bajrang who gave mowgli's younger brother that ripped nose a month or two ago fighting over choti tara and her daughter @Roflcopters
RE: B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India - Roflcopters - 07-02-2022
yeah i’m aware, Taru isn’t the original Paras. he has no relations to Mowgli either. do you have the pic of the male that was injured? i know Tala was also chased out of Moharli last month by Bajrang.

RE: B2 and Other Great Tiger Pics from India - Roflcopters - 07-02-2022
that’s Yuvraj, technically a half brother to Mowgli. he’s Kuwani female and Kakadghat male’s son. Rudra and Tala are also half brothers to him. they all shared the same father. just different mothers. now that i think about it. the amount of Kolsa tigers that have covered the core areas of Tadoba is a story of its own.
