Tiger kills a male Sambar in Tadoba
















Recently I had witnessed a great drama of prey and predator in Tadoba forest. On 13th Nov.2009, two Tigress tried to kill a big Sambar male at Telia Dam area. Sambar escaped but with wounds on his hind legs. It went into the water and stayed their for full 24 hours. In this period, he tried to came out the water and escape into the forest. But both tigress are patiently waiting in nearby grass, for the right opportunity to kill it.
That night tigress able to kill the Sambar right on the bank of the water. I was able to capture some stunning shots of the entire forest drama, when tigress try to eat sambar.
