Ranthambore Tiger Park

saturday morning we headed for Ranthambore national park..
the tiger park..
it's a big park with 60 tigers....and other wildlife
but  today is just about  these magnificent creatures....

on the morning safari yesterday we where fortunate to get to see the tiger..
a mother with three cubs...about 8-9 months old....


first we saw the fresh footprint and then


in the morning light she was right there..
so close...


maybe 25-30 meters from us...


it was so cool....
it was one of those wow-moments...
 Bengal tiger in the wild..well, national park wild...


family morning time....


attentive !


one of the cubs went to explore by himself...



they stay with the mother until they are about 2-2 1/2 years old..


then they moved to higher grounds....
see how the cubs are playing ?




some morning grooming..


they are hard to spot in the grass don't you think...how many of them can you see in this one?


now I understand why people don't see them coming....or hear them...
we listened to the warning signals from the other animals and birds...


"I can see you better from here"


I guess they are all in there but..


family affection..


she actually growled at us or something .....



I think she saw me,us and licked her mouth as in...delhilicious bites !




 off again.....

all of us where so happy that we got to experience this...
what animals do I have left to see here in India ?
hmmm....
I'll get back to you on that because I really need to get into bed now..
tomorrow we're off on new adventures.
