The Great Outdoors
A tiger Panthera tigris, stares into the great outdoors of Corbett’s Dhikala grasslands. The cat’s orange fur and black stripes help it merge into its grassland habitat, while its conspicuous white spots on the back of its ears enable cubs to keep track of their mother as they follow her in tall grassland habitats. Moving its ears like antenna, the tiger uses its acute sense of hearing both to hunt and to protect itself from danger, which often comes in the shape and form of a rival tiger. Photo: Sunaina Barua
