Spotting a tiger is a great experience
That's the Tigress !!!
Jeeps gather whenever there is even an hint of appearance of a tiger

I guess that's a baby calote - Not sure though
Butterfly Orange-Black
Sundargaj - One of the five elephants used in Bandhavgarh to ferry tourists to the tiger show
This tigress was resting with her two cubs
The cubs were a short distance away from their mother
They are already 18-20 months old. A couple of months later, they will be forced to search for their own territory.
The tigress seemed unperturbed by the presence of so many people, and their cameras

Bandhavgarh is rich in spiders and their webs. We could track at least 8 species in our short stay. Anoop thinks that the spider is the real king of the jungle. This is the picture of Giant Wood Spider.
He wants to spend an entire day tracking spiders in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve
The Peacock Family. With a 5-2 female to male ratio, I wonder what's the need of that whole dance thing by the males.
Peacocks typically keep a watch on their women

Waiting for the tiger. Tiger spotting typically takes a lot of patient waiting at one place.
Even deers and Langurs make for pretty pictures
Common Vine Snake
This snake was lying on the ground - Very much alive
Vine snakes have typically triangular head..as can be seen here..

3-4 species of bats could be found hanging along the roofs of Badi Gufa
