7-month-old female tiger cub advancing towards photographer
As our vehicle turned a curve, we saw this 7-month-old female tiger cub sitting on the road, and as we approached closer, got up and disappeared by the roadside only to reappear over a mound. She then descended it and started advancing straight towards us, curiosity and play writ large over her face. This image encapsulates that curiosity and playfulness that virtually every young cat exhibits, but in this case of a particularly bold tiger cub.
