LEAP TO SAFETY
Sunderban National Park,
West Bengal, India

Conflict with humans
over territory is a problem
for tigers, so on the
fringe of the Sunderban
National Park the Forest
Department traps tigers
that enter or come close
to villages. Rangers then
transport and release the
big cats into a safer area
away from people, near or
in the mangrove forest.

TIME TO REFLECT
Ranthambore NP, Rajasthan, India
A beautiful reflection of a
male creates a peaceful image.
Unlike most other cat species,
tigers are keen swimmers and
often visit streams and lakes
to escape the heat of the day.
