Have you heard of the Indian car manufacturer Mahindra and the car named Xylo? Now, I don’t know who came up with the idea, or what the story is behind this - but this tiger was named Xylo after this 4x4 car. Maybe it’s because he’s one of the biggest males in this reserve like the size of the car, or that he used to enjoy hanging around this car. Irrespective, we had such an incredible sighting of Xylo. This was one of my last safaris, yet again Tadoba didn’t disappoint!

Curious to know which tiger was my favorite to photograph on this trip to India? It has to be the stunning tigress Nayantara! This isn’t my first encounter with her, though. Last year, I captured her as a cub alongside her mother, Bhanuskhindi. Nayantara truly embodies the spirit of her parents—her bold and fearless mother, Bhanu, and the reigning king of Tadoba, Chota Matka. What an incredible journey it’s been to see her grow into the majestic tigress she is today!

It can be nerve-wracking to watch an apex predator—a tiger in India, a bear in Alaska, or a leopard in Africa—walk directly toward you. I’ve experienced this many times in high-density wildlife areas, and the key is always the same: stay calm. Wild animals often sense energy and movement; panic only escalates tension. Respect their space, trust your guide, and soak in the privilege of being in their presence.

Photographed here is a male tiger “Balya” who watched us closely while walking towards our safari vehicle. Each step of the tiger was calculated while we held our breaths and enjoyed this rare view and experience. Like I said earlier, being calm in such a situation is the key and after this intense interaction, the tiger went on his way. Enjoy this photograph to see what it might feel like being stalked by a tiger in the wild 🐯🐅

Tigress T-184, “Weera”.

My first encounter with Weera, the Tigress T-184 of Tadoba Tiger Reserve, was brief but unforgettable. While searching through the buffer zones, we spotted her striding gracefully through the tall grass, pausing to mark her territory—a subtle yet powerful display of her presence in this high-density tiger habitat.

Weera is no ordinary tigress. The daughter of the legendary Junabai, she has carved her own identity in the wilderness. Her name, meaning “warrior,” was inspired by the W mark on her forehead and a territorial battle she fought with another tigress. Though she lost that fight, her resilience and ability to bounce back against the odds cemented her legacy.

In India, tigers are cataloged with letters and numbers, like T-184, for research and tracking. But local names, often inspired by a tiger’s markings, lineage, or personality, tell a deeper story. For Weera, her name isn’t just a label—it’s a reflection of her indomitable spirit and the fierce beauty of the wild she calls home.

In the heart of Tadoba Tiger Reserve, a name echoes through the forests—Maya, the legendary tigress who ruled these lands for years. But this story isn’t about her. It’s about Choti Tara, a tigress who lived in Maya’s shadow yet carved her own path to glory.

Choti Tara’s rise to dominance is nothing short of remarkable. When Maya vanished from the core, the balance of power was up for grabs. At 12 or 13 years old, many considered Choti Tara past her prime, especially with fierce contenders vying for control. Yet she defied expectations, battling rivals and claiming her place as the queen of Tadoba. Now, at an astounding 15 years old, she reigns with strength and grace, raising her sixth litter to keep her legacy alive.

We were fortunate to witness her majesty firsthand. Choti Tara, with her two cubs in tow, emerged from the thickets and boldly strode along the dusty road. For kilometers, she walked, her golden coat glowing in the dappled sunlight, utterly unfazed by the cars and the excitement of onlookers. She exuded confidence, a living embodiment of survival and tenacity.

Choti Tara isn’t just a tigress; she’s the comeback queen of Tadoba’s core—a symbol of perseverance in a world where survival is a daily battle.

We saw this pair from the comfort of our car and wait for 20 minutes to see some action. Other cars came and went, but finally our patience paid off 🦅
