Tigers in India
Appearance and Physical Characteristics:
Though slim and elegant, tigers are immensely powerful. Their front legs and paws are tremendously strong: they can kill young elephants and rhino and drag prey weighing 200 kg. (5001 bs.) Or more. Tigers walk on the fore pads of their feet, which gives their stride suppleness and elasticity.

Tiger Habitat
The Ramganga valley once supported an ancient, relatively unstudied civilisation. Vestiges of their existence can be seen in the form of terra cotta remains and temple ruins that lie along the river.

Tiger Conservation
Tigers occupy the pinnacle of the food chain and a healthy tiger population is an indicator of the well being of the whole forest. Throughout evolution, predators have had a regulatory influence on the population sizes of other species; it is thanks to carnivores, such as tigers, that the number of herbivores is kept in check. In turn, the populations can therefore only fluctuate between certain limits because of this "feedback mechanism".

In every case it is a contest of wits you are pitting your knowledge against the instincts of self preservation of a wild animal, instincts that are helped by acute senses, particularly those of smell and hearing.

Animals have expressions too. How closely these equate to our interpretation of them is a matter for debate, but there is no doubt that they can look reflective, intelligent and happy as well as the more usual amusing or alarming. As in many other branches of photography, the secret is often patience. Most people start in natural history photography as an extension of an existing interest. The big problem is that almost all wildlife is wary,
