That is when I fell in love with Ranthambhore and with tigers as a whole. My love for the Big Cats brought me back to Ranthambhore this year again. I spent longer time at the National Park this time and was lucky to be able to photograph two of the best specimens of the Royal Bengal Tiger (Panthera tigris). Once you meet a tiger at Ranthambhore, you know why it is called the %u201CRoyal%u201D Bengal Tiger. Though Lion is universally accepted King of the forest, he is no match to the tiger in grace, beauty and nobility.

This one is without doubt the most beautiful female tiger on earth, the equivalent of Miss World, indeed the tiger version of Aishwarya Rai. Except for two things. This one has a very unromantic name, T17. And unlike the former Miss Word, she has still not found her mate.
