A website for Tigers

Bamera Male is bold, huge and handsome while Chorbehra is beautiful but cannot run due to an injured limb.

These are not characteristics of some youngsters but that of tigers lodged in the Bandhavgarh National Park in Umaria district.

The traits of the tigers in the park have been uploaded on the website www.landofthewild.com, which has been created by Sachin Rai, a wildlife photographer. The website traces the family tree of tigers, describes their traits and has stories associated with them.

"Wildlife photography is a passion for me," Rai said, when asked about the website and his hobby.

"I used to visit Bandhavgarh at least three times a year and spend a fortnight each in the park to capture images and gather information about the tigers," the award-winning lensman said.
