Tiger in India
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Indian Tiger

Though slim and elegant, tigers are immensely powerful. Their front legs and paws are tremendously strong: they can kill young elephants and rhino and drag prey weighing 200 kg. (5001 bs.) Or more. Tigers walk on the fore pads of their feet, which gives their stride suppleness and elasticity. They have flexible forelegs that can twist inwards, allowing them to grasp prey. Their claws remain retracted until they are needed in the final moments of attack.

Tiger Conservation

Tigers occupy the pinnacle of the food chain and a healthy tiger population is an indicator of the well being of the whole forest. Throughout evolution, predators have had a regulatory influence on the population sizes of other species; it is thanks to carnivores, such as tigers, that the number of herbivores is kept in check. In turn, the populations can therefore only fluctuate between certain limits because of this "feedback mechanism".

Tiger Photography

Lighting: Top lighting effect is not ideal for photographing wildlife or landscapes; low side lighting is better for showing detail in wildlife subjects and creates more interesting shadows in landscapes. So it’s important to make full use of the light at sunrise and again in the later afternoon.

Spotting a Tiger in Wild

The first thing you realize is that you seldom watch an animal satisfactorily just by luck. This certainly applies to mammals. An animal detects your present long before you know it is there. In every case it is a contest of wits you are pitting your knowledge against the instincts of self preservation of a wild animal, instincts that are helped by acute senses, particularly those of smell and hearing.
