Vehicles would take you as close as possible, but elephants take you the last bit to where a tiger has been spotted.

Male bengal tiger at Kanha National Park...resting.  A several-day-old smelly kill was nearby.

Big kitty...

Female bengal tiger spotted at Kanha the next day.

She was about half the size (roughly) of the male we'd seen the previous day.


She's on the move!

Robert and I were on separate elephants at this point...

and the elephant Robert was on followed the female tiger...
