After 5 unsuccessful attempts, finally got to see these magnificent elusive cats. The first few images are of a male tiger locally known as "the wandering male". It's called that because it swims across the cabin river from its domain at the bandipur forest and fights with the tigers here for dominance. This ~6 year old tiger is a bully!. The last few pictures are of the local dominant female called the Temple Tank Tigress.
