"A CRY FOR THE TIGER"

With proper protection and enough prey, tigers breed easily. This four year-old female returned to the cave in Bandhavgarh National Park where she was born to have her first litter. This part of the park has abundant prey and protection, so this tigress feels secure. She gave birth to three cubs; tigers under stress rarely birth more than one cub.
