Field Notes

Description:

The Sukhi Pattiya sub-adult tigress is one of 3 Bandhavgarh's blue eyed striped jewels. We were out searching for her when we noticed her pug marks close to her favorite hangout. As we started to follow the pug marks, someone screamed "Tiger!" and there she was 30 meters ahead of us, walking straight at us.
As we made way for her to walk to the waterhole, she gave us some amazing poses as she walked with great poise.
She definitely is a princess and I hope she keeps the Blue Eyed Tiger legacy going for several years to come.

Fantastic spotting! Given the danger to tigers everywhere, perhaps in future don't mention in which park you saw such a magnificent animal. Thanks for sharing!

anoorag! Lovely indeed. Such beauty and grace! Anoorag,poaching is around and cyber poaching is becoming a reality,unfortunately. This being considered a sensitive spot,can you not reveal the exact location? We at PN understand and have addressed such a situation before. Thanks!
