Clicked this image during one of my wildlife safari. The bond between a baby elephant and its mother can be correctly described as the closest of any animal on earth.

Adult Male Tiger of Bandipur Tiger Reserve

Clicked this tiger image during one of my wildlife safari. I waiting for long time after getting the "alarm call" from the Deer and Peacock. Usually animals like Deer, Gaur, Gray Langur, Peacock and Monkeys used to generate a typical sound or noise if they find any movement of the predators. The Tiger just came out from the bush and i was able to click this photograph.
