We kept a comfortable distance from Baras and her cubs lest we startled or disturbed them, but at no point was Baras not aware of our presence even though she didn’t seem to mind, being accustomed to the presence of human beings atop their harmless growling-gurgling rides. In this picture, Baras looks at us sleepily and so does her cub for a fleeting moment. The picture was clicked at Pench-MH Tiger Reserve, Maharashtra.
