Fearless Symmetry

Photograph by Souvik Kundu , National Geographic Your Shot

It s a rare and privileged experience to witness the interaction of tiger cubs in the wild, says Souvik Kundu, a member of our Your Shot photo community. After learning that a tigress had given birth to cubs in India s Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, Kundu visited the sanctuary a number of times to photograph the family. On this day his group was treated to an unforgettable display of tender bonding, with the cubs engaged in several bouts of play-fighting under the watchful eyes of the mother.
