A winding track through dense woodlands takes us to the Telia Lake in the southeast of the Tadoba Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra. Our guide explains that it was discovered by tiger cubs and taken off to play with, hence the claw and tooth marks. All of a sudden, in a hushed voice he says one word only: “Tigers!”

Nitin hopes to enlarge his collection of photos of Tigers. I am curious to see whatever awaits us in the Nagzira Tiger Reserve. In the morning, still sleepy, we enter the jungle, where a sounder of Indian Boars (a long-maned subspecies Sus scrofa cristatus ) is watching us, standing among the first trees, right next to the road.

This is the genus of the typical large cats including Lion, Leopard, Jaguar and Tiger. In fact genetic evidence indicates that the Snow Leopard’s closest living relative is the Tiger. We could not believe our fortune, could we really be treated to a Snow Leopard hunt – this was beyond our wildest dreams?

The Oriental Darter is classified as Near Threatened – the reasons are the usual ones: habitat loss, hunting, and pollution. Tiphys died either of a snakebite or of a mysterious illness but he was not killed by either a tiger or a rhinoceros. Lucky him, right? of its hunts are successful. Back to birds.

In Singapore, Common Redshanks mostly drink Tiger Beer. Lesser Whistling Ducks are “not threatened by hunting as they are not considered good to eat” ( Wikipedia ). If you take a feral pigeon, bleach it and then batik it using the right colors, the result might be a Pink-necked Green Pigeon (1). Lucky ducks.

Pity, it is the sleeping hours and not the hunting (morning/evening), but at least they are not forced to socialise with people all day. What is the right stuff for you? In India, no one goes at mid-day because of the heat and the law. Yes, animals are guaranteed some time free of the camera-snapping crowds.

Brown Wild Indigo Duskywings were everywhere, as were the tiny Eastern Tailed Blue butterflies, plus a Tiger Swallowtail or two. Suddenly, a golden warbler with black streaks hopped to the top of a leafed out bush right in front of me! The gamelands proved to be an excellent place to butterfly that afternoon. Prairie Warbler.
