Tourists at Maharashtra's Tadoba Andhari tiger reserve were treated to spectacular tiger sightings at Kolara Gate in Chandrapur.
The magnificent big cat was captured yawning, marking territory by standing on hind legs, and confidently striding past safari vehicles on forest tracks.
These remarkable moments showcase the thriving tiger population in one of India's premier wildlife reserves.
