The daughter put up a ferocious attack. RANTHAMBORE NATIONAL PARK, INDIA: CAT FIGHT: A photographer has captured an epic battle between a tiger mum and her daughter over territory. In one image, the 350-pound tiger mother clapped her paws around her daughter?s face as she attempted to push the troublesome teen away. In another, the young daughter temporarily gained the upper hand as she pushed the mother down to the ground, but she was soon back on the defensive. Photographer Chandrabhal Singh (45) from Pune, India, captured the rare territorial fight in Ranthambore National Park. The brawling mother and daughter duo fought it out just six yards away from Chandrabhal over the space of a minute. Since the year 2000, habitats occupied by tigers have shrunk by 93 percent due to growing urbanisation and habitat destruction. India is thought to have around 3,000 wild tigers left ? a third of what it had four years ago. The images were captured on a Nikon camera using a Nikkor lens. / Chandrabhal Singh
