In the serene wilderness of Panna Tiger Reserve, where the landscape unfolds in a symphony of rocky outcrops and tranquil waters, a young sub-adult of P151 embarks on a journey of discovery. This image captures a pivotal moment, as he steps cautiously along the Ken river's edge, the rocks beneath his paws offering both a path and a challenge to reach its sibling which is already in the water. As the tiger walks on, the river whispers its ancient secrets, the wind rustles through the leaves, and the landscape stands as a silent witness to this moment of natural beauty and raw, untamed life. This scene, frozen in time, tells a tale of courage, discovery, and the indomitable spirit of a young tiger making his way in the world.

For people who are working hard and facing huddles get this deep thought in their mind “Why is this happening to me only”. Let me tell you a beautiful story about overcoming from these huddles. What if you were born with no parents or care throughout your life? How would it shape who you become? Our parents guide every step, providing safety and teaching life lessons. The child grows confident and strong, secure in the knowledge that help is always there. Yes, there are species fall under the r-strategy: many offspring, but no parental care and grow without the parental guidance In this image, a bush frog is getting ready to hatch from its egg and surrounded by hundreds of other eggs. Its mother is gone, leaving the frog to fend for itself. From the start, it must learn to survive—dodging predators, and finding food—all without guidance. For many r-strategists, the act of laying eggs is driven by instinct rather than a conscious awareness of carrying or caring for the eggs. They often don’t exhibit behaviours indicating awareness or concern for the eggs after they are laid, as their strategy relies on producing many offspring, with the expectation that only a few will survive to adulthood. Therefore, in a biological sense, it’s unlikely that these animals are consciously aware they are carrying eggs in the same way that more K-strategist animals might be aware of their offspring. However, some r-strategists may exhibit behaviours that suggest some degree of instinctual recognition or care. These eggs are laid on the tree branches under the leaves to protect them from predators. Probably that’s why the adult is called a “MOTHER”.

I was capturing how a Eurasian spoonbill is preening with its spoon like Beak. Suddenly the water colour changed.
