The world of the tiger, the most charismatic animal in the Indian jungle, remains shrouded in mystery despite centuries of research and observation. In this book, tiger expert Valmik Thapar, who studied the big cat in Ranthambore for fifty years, provides startling insights into how tigers behave in the wild. Through closely observed portraits of tigers like Padmini, the doting mother; Genghis, the master predator; Noon, the amorous tigress; and Broken Tooth, her suitor, the author explains little understood aspects of tiger behaviour such as how they raise their young, learn how to hunt, conduct courtship rituals, and mate. Taken together, his findings bring India's national animal to new and startling life.
