Waghdoh Male,getting ready to charge on sloth bear..
this sloth bear, drawn by thirst came very close to the artificial water hole where 6 tigers were present (male,female and 4 cubs). only 1 cub noticed it and moved even closer until the bear saw it..there was a stand off for couple of seconds and bear stood up on its hind legs..but the bold cub stood its ground..this commotion woke up the male tiger, who was sleeping in water hole, almost invisible..after seeing the bear, this huge male moved in with unbelievable speed..followed by 2 cubs and the tigress!!!

thank you all for your comments..
After being charged by the male tiger, the bear disappeared in the jungle on its right..we heard 4 high pitch calls from bear and after that there was a complete silence..we checked fire line (now not in use) that runs parallel to this one where we saw the tigress and cub crossing..nobody knows what happened after this..
I have a few more shots from this series but no direct shot between tiger & the bear.. will be sharing those soon..
thanks once again for all your comments..
