The tigress who successfully raised her all 5 Cubs . Meet Queen of the Gothangaon sanctuary, Tigress F2.
🐅🌳 ( She is known as F2 because she was the second cub in the litter of the tigress known as Fairy )
🐅🌳In February, I went on a safari with my client, Nelly. At first, we saw a cub taking a nap by the roadside.
🌳🐅 Later, we heard that the F2 tigress—the Queen of the Jungle—was heading toward Gavati Lake. We headed there and waited for about 20 minutes, photographing birds and soaking in the jungle's beauty.
🌳🐅Suddenly, our guide spotted her emerging from the lush green forest to drink. I readied my camera and focused. Though she was far away and perfectly camouflaged in the yellow grass, I could tell she was observing us.
🌳🐅I captured a few shots before she settled down to sleep. We headed back to the gate with wonderful memories and full hearts.
Location: Gothangaon wildlife Sanctuary, Umrer Karhandala Park.
