 Raghu Udupa with Guruprasad Bhadya and 2 others at Tadoba - Andhari Tiger Reserve3 hrs · EditedOur fourth safari was drawing to a close. After two hours of anxious, hopeful waiting, the drowning light signalled the end of our safari. It will now be four safaris chasing the Kuhani tigress and her cubs, but all we managed were glimpses of the tigress.
With plunging spirits we were going down the Aambe Uttara, when my cousin whispered "Tiger, Tiger just crossed!". We stopped, eager, our hopes magically restored. Our naturalist disclosed that this territory belongs to Shivanjari tigress of JinkaNalla.
He emerged slowly, in all his Aurum glory. He glowed in the fading lights, this Prince of the Summer land. He sashayed across the road, the forest his ramp and I, the obsessed paparazzi, thirsty to know more of his life and see more of him.
I will not be surprised if he emerges the King. Afterall, he's a worthy "Prince" of Kolsa region .Shivanjari Subadult(M)
