India. Wild tiger. Tigre sauvage

Magnificent young male at Bandhavgar National Park in eastern Madhya Pradesh, India. It was late June, 50C. At this time foliage has died away, so visibility is excellent. This animal walked out from a distant thicket, slowly. The photo was taken from around 3-4 meters, standing in an open jeep. It is a park which is quite difficult to access, so tourist numbers were very low, and tiger numbers were high. We saw about 10 different animals over 2 days.
