The majestic tigress, who once ruled the Ranthambore National Park, was so mighty and fierce that she would even intimidate the male tigers if they came close to her cubs. The tales of her great encounters with the crocodiles is also what made her so legendary. She had once ripped apart a mighty 14-foot long crocodile that was edging towards her prey and cubs.

But for you on the safari, the excitement only builds up manyfold, in the anticipation of getting a glimpse of the magnificent animal.
