'Machli' The tigress

I'm pleased to share another image from scan of the old slide, 'Machli' the most photographed tigress of Ranthambhor, which died on 18th Aug. 2016 at the age of 19.5 years. The normal age of tiger in the wild was considered to be around 14-15 years. A beautiful tigress and wonderful mother. These cubs're from the second litter.

Thank you so much for your kind comments & views!

She was a darling of Ranthambhor. Photographers just went there to see her. She will always be missed.

She is beautiful Jagdeep. Amazing that she was able to live so long in the wild. Nice scan.

Sweet. How about a little less centered? I especially like how all three are facing our way without being focused all on the cameraman.
