I was on a safari at Bandhavgarh National Park. We heard alarm calls from langurs and the forest started with wave of reacting sounds, indicating the presence of a predator. Soon we sighted this tigress casually strolling through the bush alongside the path and followed it for a few kilometers where it headed towards a manmade water hole, lapped up some water, and then settled in it with a calm and serene expression.
