The late tigress Machli. To quote the Photo Society: “She played a key role in the regeneration of the tiger population in the park in the early 2000s, and was celebrated with titles such as Queen Mother of Tigers, Tigress Queen of Ranthambore, Lady of the Lakes, and Crocodile Killer. She was considered India’s most famous tigress, and the world’s oldest tigress living in the wild.”

She passed away aged nineteen on August 2016.

Tigress Low Key... These images were taken in harsh midday light when a tigress went for a drink and the cave like environment created a beautiful dark background while the light caught the eye of the beautiful cat. Best of all, we got to enjoy this beauty completely on our own. This is why we opt for some full day outings in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve.
