            male Bengal Tiger in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh in India 

after finding tracks on the road and hearing intermittent calls from inside the forest we decided to stop and wait at a turn of the road so we could monitor a longer stretch ...........
after nearly an hour this male Tiger appeared and we were the only vehicle at the sighting
