Leopard Cubs</image:title>
      <image:caption>Wildlife Rhythms

Leopard Cubs: Keisha's Mom
 Shot at Mala Mala Game Reserve, South Africa in May 2009 with the Canon 1D Mark III, 1Ds Mark III, 500mm f/4 and 70-200/2.8. My first visit to Mala Mala was in 2009.  This camp is the largest private property in Sabi Sands and is well known for it's leopard sightings; i.e. up to 20 in single visit. And because there's a river running through the property and the camp is adjacent to Krueger National Park to the East, the area attracts a lot of wildlife.  Mala Mala is where I learned to track from the rangers; i.e., looking for prints and clues while studying common and individual behaviors.  And, it was the first time that I set eyes on the gorgeous Kikilezi leopard female.  She was Keisha's Mom and also known as Kiki.  On this visit, Kiki was hanging out with a sub-adult cub who was long overdue in becoming independent.  I was lucky to see Kiki on 5 more visits where she reigned as the matriach and successfully raised many cubs to adulthood.   Leopards meander between camps and over at Londolozi camp to the West, Kiki was known as the Xidulu female.  Kiki was the daughter of the Ngoboswan female who I got to see as well.  Ngoboswan was legendary because she was very relaxed with vehicles and even liked to pose.  This behavior was thankfully passed on to Kiki; unlike with her sisters, the Tamboti and Campbell Koppies females.  Kiki's last litter of twins were born in May 2016 and one surviving cub, the Three Rivers female, is gorgeous as well.   Another daughter, the beautiful Sibuye female born in Dec. 2013, also is a successful Mom and has the most adorable twins - born late August/early Sept. 2019 - at Mala Mala or a nearby camp.  I haven't had the privilege of seeing this family and probably never will because this mom meanders between camps.  Check out the Sibuye Female Leopard page on Facebook to follow this leopard.  Kiki's other daughter, who I nicknamed Keisha and is formally known as the Emsagweni female, had twins at the same time as Kiki in May 2016; but unfortunately, they didn't make it.  But good news -  2 of the 3 cubs from Keisha's Nov. 2017 litter, both males, are doing well and are already independent.   Sadly, Kiki passed away in May 2017 at age 16 and she is dearly missed.  Her legend lives on in real life and in my heart. All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Leopard Cubs: Keisha's Mom
 Shot at Mala Mala Game Reserve, South Africa in May 2009 with the Canon 1D Mark III, 1Ds Mark III, 500mm f/4 and 70-200/2.8. My first visit to Mala Mala was in 2009.  This camp is the largest private property in Sabi Sands and is well known for it's leopard sightings; i.e. up to 20 in single visit. And because there's a river running through the property and the camp is adjacent to Krueger National Park to the East, the area attracts a lot of wildlife.  Mala Mala is where I learned to track from the rangers; i.e., looking for prints and clues while studying common and individual behaviors.  And, it was the first time that I set eyes on the gorgeous Kikilezi leopard female.  She was Keisha's Mom and also known as Kiki.  On this visit, Kiki was hanging out with a sub-adult cub who was long overdue in becoming independent.  I was lucky to see Kiki on 5 more visits where she reigned as the matriach and successfully raised many cubs to adulthood.   Leopards meander between camps and over at Londolozi camp to the West, Kiki was known as the Xidulu female.  Kiki was the daughter of the Ngoboswan female who I got to see as well.  Ngoboswan was legendary because she was very relaxed with vehicles and even liked to pose.  This behavior was thankfully passed on to Kiki; unlike with her sisters, the Tamboti and Campbell Koppies females.  Kiki's last litter of twins were born in May 2016 and one surviving cub, the Three Rivers female, is gorgeous as well.   Another daughter, the beautiful Sibuye female born in Dec. 2013, also is a successful Mom and has the most adorable twins - born late August/early Sept. 2019 - at Mala Mala or a nearby camp.  I haven't had the privilege of seeing this family and probably never will because this mom meanders between camps.  Check out the Sibuye Female Leopard page on Facebook to follow this leopard.  Kiki's other daughter, who I nicknamed Keisha and is formally known as the Emsagweni female, had twins at the same time as Kiki in May 2016; but unfortunately, they didn't make it.  But good news -  2 of the 3 cubs from Keisha's Nov. 2017 litter, both males, are doing well and are already independent.   Sadly, Kiki passed away in May 2017 at age 16 and she is dearly missed.

Kiki's last litter of twins were born in May 2016 and one surviving cub, the Three Rivers female, is gorgeous as well.   Another daughter, the beautiful Sibuye female born in Dec. 2013, also is a successful Mom and has the most adorable twins - born late August/early Sept. 2019 - at Mala Mala or a nearby camp.  I haven't had the privilege of seeing this family and probably never will because this mom meanders between camps.  Check out the Sibuye Female Leopard page on Facebook to follow this leopard.  Kiki's other daughter, who I nicknamed Keisha and is formally known as the Emsagweni female, had twins at the same time as Kiki in May 2016; but unfortunately, they didn't make it.  But good news -  2 of the 3 cubs from Keisha's Nov. 2017 litter, both males, are doing well and are already independent.   Sadly, Kiki passed away in May 2017 at age 16 and she is dearly missed.  Her legend lives on in real life and in my heart. All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Leopard Cubs: Keisha's Mom
 Shot at Mala Mala Game Reserve, South Africa in May 2009 with the Canon 1D Mark III, 1Ds Mark III, 500mm f/4 and 70-200/2.8. My first visit to Mala Mala was in 2009.  This camp is the largest private property in Sabi Sands and is well known for it's leopard sightings; i.e. up to 20 in single visit. And because there's a river running through the property and the camp is adjacent to Krueger National Park to the East, the area attracts a lot of wildlife.  Mala Mala is where I learned to track from the rangers; i.e., looking for prints and clues while studying common and individual behaviors.  And, it was the first time that I set eyes on the gorgeous Kikilezi leopard female.  She was Keisha's Mom and also known as Kiki.  On this visit, Kiki was hanging out with a sub-adult cub who was long overdue in becoming independent.  I was lucky to see Kiki on 5 more visits where she reigned as the matriach and successfully raised many cubs to adulthood.   Leopards meander between camps and over at Londolozi camp to the West, Kiki was known as the Xidulu female.  Kiki was the daughter of the Ngoboswan female who I got to see as well.  Ngoboswan was legendary because she was very relaxed with vehicles and even liked to pose.  This behavior was thankfully passed on to Kiki; unlike with her sisters, the Tamboti and Campbell Koppies females.  Kiki's last litter of twins were born in May 2016 and one surviving cub, the Three Rivers female, is gorgeous as well.   Another daughter, the beautiful Sibuye female born in Dec. 2013, also is a successful Mom and has the most adorable twins - born late August/early Sept. 2019 - at Mala Mala or a nearby camp.

Mala Mala is where I learned to track from the rangers; i.e., looking for prints and clues while studying common and individual behaviors.  And, it was the first time that I set eyes on the gorgeous Kikilezi leopard female.  She was Keisha's Mom and also known as Kiki.  On this visit, Kiki was hanging out with a sub-adult cub who was long overdue in becoming independent.  I was lucky to see Kiki on 5 more visits where she reigned as the matriach and successfully raised many cubs to adulthood.   Leopards meander between camps and over at Londolozi camp to the West, Kiki was known as the Xidulu female.  Kiki was the daughter of the Ngoboswan female who I got to see as well.  Ngoboswan was legendary because she was very relaxed with vehicles and even liked to pose.  This behavior was thankfully passed on to Kiki; unlike with her sisters, the Tamboti and Campbell Koppies females.  Kiki's last litter of twins were born in May 2016 and one surviving cub, the Three Rivers female, is gorgeous as well.   Another daughter, the beautiful Sibuye female born in Dec. 2013, also is a successful Mom and has the most adorable twins - born late August/early Sept. 2019 - at Mala Mala or a nearby camp.  I haven't had the privilege of seeing this family and probably never will because this mom meanders between camps.  Check out the Sibuye Female Leopard page on Facebook to follow this leopard.  Kiki's other daughter, who I nicknamed Keisha and is formally known as the Emsagweni female, had twins at the same time as Kiki in May 2016; but unfortunately, they didn't make it.  But good news -  2 of the 3 cubs from Keisha's Nov. 2017 litter, both males, are doing well and are already independent.   Sadly, Kiki passed away in May 2017 at age 16 and she is dearly missed.  Her legend lives on in real life and in my heart. All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Leopard Cubs: Keisha's Mom
 Shot at Mala Mala Game Reserve, South Africa in May 2009 with the Canon 1D Mark III, 1Ds Mark III, 500mm f/4 and 70-200/2.8. My first visit to Mala Mala was in 2009.

Polar Bear Cubs: Sweet Gestures
 Shot at Wat'chee Lodge, 40 miles South of Hudson Bay, Churchill, Canada in March 2012 with the Canon 1D4 Mark IV, 800mm f/4 and 1.4x TC III Sightings were low this season, down by two thirds from the year before.  It was OMG cold and the first time that our cameras kept dying or slowing to a crawl, viewfinders kept fogging up, and frost kept coating the inside of our camera LED windows.  Because not many families were spotted, I think that mamas were playing it safe by keeping families below ground in warm dens until the weather got better.  Anyway, I felt blessed that we at least found two families - both with adorable twins - even though it was difficult to photograph for very long in these temps.  Our yield was low but seeing any polar bear baby was truly special. All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Polar Bear Cubs: Sweet Gestures
 Shot at Wat'chee Lodge, 40 miles South of Hudson Bay, Churchill, Canada in March 2012 with the Canon 1D4 Mark IV, 800mm f/4 and 1.4x TC III Sightings were low this season, down by two thirds from the year before.  It was OMG cold and the first time that our cameras kept dying or slowing to a crawl, viewfinders kept fogging up, and frost kept coating the inside of our camera LED windows.  Because not many families were spotted, I think that mamas were playing it safe by keeping families below ground in warm dens until the weather got better.

Polar Bear Cubs: Sweet Gestures
 Shot at Wat'chee Lodge, 40 miles South of Hudson Bay, Churchill, Canada in March 2012 with the Canon 1D4 Mark IV, 800mm f/4 and 1.4x TC III Sightings were low this season, down by two thirds from the year before.  It was OMG cold and the first time that our cameras kept dying or slowing to a crawl, viewfinders kept fogging up, and frost kept coating the inside of our camera LED windows.  Because not many families were spotted, I think that mamas were playing it safe by keeping families below ground in warm dens until the weather got better.  Anyway, I felt blessed that we at least found two families - both with adorable twins - even though it was difficult to photograph for very long in these temps.  Our yield was low but seeing any polar bear baby was truly special. All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Polar Bear Cubs: Sweet Gestures
 Shot at Wat'chee Lodge, 40 miles South of Hudson Bay, Churchill, Canada in March 2012 with the Canon 1D4 Mark IV, 800mm f/4 and 1.4x TC III Sightings were low this season, down by two thirds from the year before.  It was OMG cold and the first time that our cameras kept dying or slowing to a crawl, viewfinders kept fogging up, and frost kept coating the inside of our camera LED windows.  Because not many families were spotted, I think that mamas were playing it safe by keeping families below ground in warm dens until the weather got better.  Anyway, I felt blessed that we at least found two families - both with adorable twins - even though it was difficult to photograph for very long in these temps.  Our yield was low but seeing any polar bear baby was truly special. All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Polar Bear Cubs: Sweet Gestures
 Shot at Wat'chee Lodge, 40 miles South of Hudson Bay, Churchill, Canada in March 2012 with the Canon 1D4 Mark IV, 800mm f/4 and 1.4x TC III Sightings were low this season, down by two thirds from the year before.  It was OMG cold and the first time that our cameras kept dying or slowing to a crawl, viewfinders kept fogging up, and frost kept coating the inside of our camera LED windows.

Polar Bear Cubs: Born to Live
 Shot at Wat'chee Lodge, 40 miles South of Hudson Bay, Churchill, Canada in March 2011 with the Canon 1D Mark IV, 800mm f/4 and 1.4x TC II This gallery begins with a mom resting with her single cub in minus 50F degrees temps.  They were on their way to Hudson Bay so that Mom can hunt for food.  Even though Mom hadn't eaten in 6 - 8 months, the weather was too harsh for the cub to travel.  The cub was very healthy because it didn't have to share Mom's rich milk with other siblings; and, it was the chubbiest cub that I've ever seen.  Next up are adorable twins.  The weather was 10 degrees warmer, so they were out and about playing in their new surroundings.   Lastly, this gallery features a very precious set of triplets.  Unlike previous years, one baby was unusually very tiny. We worried whether the tiny cub would be able to keep up with the family when it was time to continue the journey to the Bay, another 40 miles.  After a long day of rest, Mom decided that it was time to go.  At first, the tiny cub didn't get up and we were quite concerned.  But the cub finally got up and struggled to the top of the slippery snow bank.  After reaching the top, the cub appeared to smile as the setting sun cheered him on with warm energy.   The family then stopped at the top of a hill for a meal break.  The sun went down and that was the last that we saw of them.  The next day, we heard from researchers that the family had trekked 5 miles during the night which was amazing to hear.  Hooray for the little cub and we prayed for more daily miracles.   Note Wildlife Rhythms

After reaching the top, the cub appeared to smile as the setting sun cheered him on with warm energy.   The family then stopped at the top of a hill for a meal break.  The sun went down and that was the last that we saw of them.  The next day, we heard from researchers that the family had trekked 5 miles during the night which was amazing to hear.  Hooray for the little cub and we prayed for more daily miracles.   Note Wildlife Rhythms

Polar Bear Cubs: Born to Live
 Shot at Wat'chee Lodge, 40 miles South of Hudson Bay, Churchill, Canada in March 2011 with the Canon 1D Mark IV, 800mm f/4 and 1.4x TC II This gallery begins with a mom resting with her single cub in minus 50F degrees temps.  They were on their way to Hudson Bay so that Mom can hunt for food.  Even though Mom hadn't eaten in 6 - 8 months, the weather was too harsh for the cub to travel.  The cub was very healthy because it didn't have to share Mom's rich milk with other siblings; and, it was the chubbiest cub that I've ever seen.  Next up are adorable twins.  The weather was 10 degrees warmer, so they were out and about playing in their new surroundings.   Lastly, this gallery features a very precious set of triplets.  Unlike previous years, one baby was unusually very tiny. We worried whether the tiny cub would be able to keep up with the family when it was time to continue the journey to the Bay, another 40 miles.

The cub was very healthy because it didn't have to share Mom's rich milk with other siblings; and, it was the chubbiest cub that I've ever seen.  Next up are adorable twins.  The weather was 10 degrees warmer, so they were out and about playing in their new surroundings.   Lastly, this gallery features a very precious set of triplets.  Unlike previous years, one baby was unusually very tiny. We worried whether the tiny cub would be able to keep up with the family when it was time to continue the journey to the Bay, another 40 miles.  After a long day of rest, Mom decided that it was time to go.  At first, the tiny cub didn't get up and we were quite concerned.  But the cub finally got up and struggled to the top of the slippery snow bank.  After reaching the top, the cub appeared to smile as the setting sun cheered him on with warm energy.   The family then stopped at the top of a hill for a meal break.  The sun went down and that was the last that we saw of them.  The next day, we heard from researchers that the family had trekked 5 miles during the night which was amazing to hear.  Hooray for the little cub and we prayed for more daily miracles.   Note Wildlife Rhythms

Polar Bear Cubs: Born to Live
 Shot at Wat'chee Lodge, 40 miles South of Hudson Bay, Churchill, Canada in March 2011 with the Canon 1D Mark IV, 800mm f/4 and 1.4x TC II This gallery begins with a mom resting with her single cub in minus 50F degrees temps.  They were on their way to Hudson Bay so that Mom can hunt for food.  Even though Mom hadn't eaten in 6 - 8 months, the weather was too harsh for the cub to travel.  The cub was very healthy because it didn't have to share Mom's rich milk with other siblings; and, it was the chubbiest cub that I've ever seen.  Next up are adorable twins.  The weather was 10 degrees warmer, so they were out and about playing in their new surroundings.   Lastly, this gallery features a very precious set of triplets.  Unlike previous years, one baby was unusually very tiny. We worried whether the tiny cub would be able to keep up with the family when it was time to continue the journey to the Bay, another 40 miles.  After a long day of rest, Mom decided that it was time to go.  At first, the tiny cub didn't get up and we were quite concerned.  But the cub finally got up and struggled to the top of the slippery snow bank.  After reaching the top, the cub appeared to smile as the setting sun cheered him on with warm energy.   The family then stopped at the top of a hill for a meal break.  The sun went down and that was the last that we saw of them.  The next day, we heard from researchers that the family had trekked 5 miles during the night which was amazing to hear.  Hooray for the little cub and we prayed for more daily miracles.   Note Wildlife Rhythms

Polar Bear Cubs: Born to Live
 Shot at Wat'chee Lodge, 40 miles South of Hudson Bay, Churchill, Canada in March 2011 with the Canon 1D Mark IV, 800mm f/4 and 1.4x TC II This gallery begins with a mom resting with her single cub in minus 50F degrees temps.  They were on their way to Hudson Bay so that Mom can hunt for food.  Even though Mom hadn't eaten in 6 - 8 months, the weather was too harsh for the cub to travel.  The cub was very healthy because it didn't have to share Mom's rich milk with other siblings; and, it was the chubbiest cub that I've ever seen.  Next up are adorable twins.  The weather was 10 degrees warmer, so they were out and about playing in their new surroundings.   Lastly, this gallery features a very precious set of triplets.  Unlike previous years, one baby was unusually very tiny. We worried whether the tiny cub would be able to keep up with the family when it was time to continue the journey to the Bay, another 40 miles.  After a long day of rest, Mom decided that it was time to go.  At first, the tiny cub didn't get up and we were quite concerned.  But the cub finally got up and struggled to the top of the slippery snow bank.  After reaching the top, the cub appeared to smile as the setting sun cheered him on with warm energy.   The family then stopped at the top of a hill for a meal break.  The sun went down and that was the last that we saw of them.  The next day, we heard from researchers that the family had trekked 5 miles during the night which was amazing to hear.  Hooray for the little cub and we prayed for more daily miracles.   Note Wildlife Rhythms

But the cub finally got up and struggled to the top of the slippery snow bank.  After reaching the top, the cub appeared to smile as the setting sun cheered him on with warm energy.   The family then stopped at the top of a hill for a meal break.  The sun went down and that was the last that we saw of them.  The next day, we heard from researchers that the family had trekked 5 miles during the night which was amazing to hear.  Hooray for the little cub and we prayed for more daily miracles.   Note: these are the cubs featured in the ABC special - Newborn Polar Bears: A Rare Glimpse - because Neal Karlinsky and his team were filming with us at the same time. All images © Christina J.

Polar Bear Cubs: Born to Live
 Shot at Wat'chee Lodge, 40 miles South of Hudson Bay, Churchill, Canada in March 2011 with the Canon 1D Mark IV, 800mm f/4 and 1.4x TC II This gallery begins with a mom resting with her single cub in minus 50F degrees temps.  They were on their way to Hudson Bay so that Mom can hunt for food.  Even though Mom hadn't eaten in 6 - 8 months, the weather was too harsh for the cub to travel.  The cub was very healthy because it didn't have to share Mom's rich milk with other siblings; and, it was the chubbiest cub that I've ever seen.  Next up are adorable twins.  The weather was 10 degrees warmer, so they were out and about playing in their new surroundings.   Lastly, this gallery features a very precious set of triplets.  Unlike previous years, one baby was unusually very tiny. We worried whether the tiny cub would be able to keep up with the family when it was time to continue the journey to the Bay, another 40 miles.  After a long day of rest, Mom decided that it was time to go.  At first, the tiny cub didn't get up and we were quite concerned.

The cub was very healthy because it didn't have to share Mom's rich milk with other siblings; and, it was the chubbiest cub that I've ever seen.  Next up are adorable twins.  The weather was 10 degrees warmer, so they were out and about playing in their new surroundings.   Lastly, this gallery features a very precious set of triplets.  Unlike previous years, one baby was unusually very tiny. We worried whether the tiny cub would be able to keep up with the family when it was time to continue the journey to the Bay, another 40 miles.  After a long day of rest, Mom decided that it was time to go.  At first, the tiny cub didn't get up and we were quite concerned.  But the cub finally got up and struggled to the top of the slippery snow bank.  After reaching the top, the cub appeared to smile as the setting sun cheered him on with warm energy.   The family then stopped at the top of a hill for a meal break.  The sun went down and that was the last that we saw of them.  The next day, we heard from researchers that the family had trekked 5 miles during the night which was amazing to hear.  Hooray for the little cub and we prayed for more daily miracles.   Note: these are the cubs featured in the ABC special - Newborn Polar Bears: A Rare Glimpse - because Neal Karlinsky and his team were filming with us at the same time. All images © Christina J.

After reaching the top, the cub appeared to smile as the setting sun cheered him on with warm energy.   The family then stopped at the top of a hill for a meal break.  The sun went down and that was the last that we saw of them.  The next day, we heard from researchers that the family had trekked 5 miles during the night which was amazing to hear.  Hooray for the little cub and we prayed for more daily miracles.   Note Wildlife Rhythms

Polar Bear Cubs: Born to Live
 Shot at Wat'chee Lodge, 40 miles South of Hudson Bay, Churchill, Canada in March 2011 with the Canon 1D Mark IV, 800mm f/4 and 1.4x TC II This gallery begins with a mom resting with her single cub in minus 50F degrees temps.  They were on their way to Hudson Bay so that Mom can hunt for food.  Even though Mom hadn't eaten in 6 - 8 months, the weather was too harsh for the cub to travel.  The cub was very healthy because it didn't have to share Mom's rich milk with other siblings; and, it was the chubbiest cub that I've ever seen.  Next up are adorable twins.  The weather was 10 degrees warmer, so they were out and about playing in their new surroundings.   Lastly, this gallery features a very precious set of triplets.  Unlike previous years, one baby was unusually very tiny. We worried whether the tiny cub would be able to keep up with the family when it was time to continue the journey to the Bay, another 40 miles.

Tigers Cubs: After the Monsoon
 Shot on Location at Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, Central India in November 2010  with the Canon 1D Mark IV and 500mm f/4  This was another successful visit because we got to photograph these gorgeous 15 month old Bengal tigers known as the Mirchahani cubs.  Bengal tigers are critically endangered and researchers were saying that there are less than 3,200 tigers left in the wild, down from 100,000 a hundred years prior.  But good news - wild tiger numbers have increased to 3,890 per the World Wildlife organization and half of them are in India. Unfortunately, the infamous Mirchahani cubs were involved in a few human conflict incidents a year after we saw them; and, it was reported that the cubs (and possibly their mom as well) were relocated to a zoo.  This was tragic news to hear. All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Bengal tigers are critically endangered and researchers were saying that there are less than 3,200 tigers left in the wild, down from 100,000 a hundred years prior.

Bengal tigers are critically endangered and researchers were saying that there are less than 3,200 tigers left in the wild, down from 100,000 a hundred years prior.  But good news - wild tiger numbers have increased to 3,890 per the World Wildlife organization and half of them are in India. Unfortunately, the infamous Mirchahani cubs were involved in a few human conflict incidents a year after we saw them; and, it was reported that the cubs (and possibly their mom as well) were relocated to a zoo.  This was tragic news to hear. All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

But good news - wild tiger numbers have increased to 3,890 per the World Wildlife organization and half of them are in India. Unfortunately, the infamous Mirchahani cubs were involved in a few human conflict incidents a year after we saw them; and, it was reported that the cubs (and possibly their mom as well) were relocated to a zoo.

 Shot on Location at Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, Central India in November 2010  with the Canon 1D Mark IV and 500mm f/4  This was another successful visit because we got to photograph these gorgeous 15 month old Bengal tigers known as the Mirchahani cubs.  Bengal tigers are critically endangered and researchers were saying that there are less than 3,200 tigers left in the wild, down from 100,000 a hundred years prior.  But good news - wild tiger numbers have increased to 3,890 per the World Wildlife organization and half of them are in India. Unfortunately, the infamous Mirchahani cubs were involved in a few human conflict incidents a year after we saw them; and, it was reported that the cubs (and possibly their mom as well) were relocated to a zoo.  This was tragic news to hear. All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

But good news - wild tiger numbers have increased to 3,890 per the World Wildlife organization and half of them are in India. Unfortunately, the infamous Mirchahani cubs were involved in a few human conflict incidents a year after we saw them; and, it was reported that the cubs (and possibly their mom as well) were relocated to a zoo.

 Shot on Location at Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, Central India in November 2010  with the Canon 1D Mark IV and 500mm f/4  This was another successful visit because we got to photograph these gorgeous 15 month old Bengal tigers known as the Mirchahani cubs.  Bengal tigers are critically endangered and researchers were saying that there are less than 3,200 tigers left in the wild, down from 100,000 a hundred years prior.  But good news - wild tiger numbers have increased to 3,890 per the World Wildlife organization and half of them are in India. Unfortunately, the infamous Mirchahani cubs were involved in a few human conflict incidents a year after we saw them; and, it was reported that the cubs (and possibly their mom as well) were relocated to a zoo.  This was tragic news to hear. All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

But good news - wild tiger numbers have increased to 3,890 per the World Wildlife organization and half of them are in India. Unfortunately, the infamous Mirchahani cubs were involved in a few human conflict incidents a year after we saw them; and, it was reported that the cubs (and possibly their mom as well) were relocated to a zoo.  This was tragic news to hear. All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Tigers Cubs: My Favorite Tigress
 Shot at Bandhavgarh and Pench Tiger Reserves, Central India, November 2011 with the Canon 1D Mark IV and 500mm f/4  This gorgeous tigeress was the Mirchahani female.  She raised the 3 tiger cubs featured in the After the Monsoon gallery; and, raising triplets to adulthood is an amazing accomplishment.  And the coolest thing about this sighting was that the Mirchanhani female was very much pregnant.  You can actually see her teats in these images and she gave birth a few weeks after my visit. All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Tigers Cubs: My Favorite Tigress
 Shot at Bandhavgarh and Pench Tiger Reserves, Central India, November 2011 with the Canon 1D Mark IV and 500mm f/4  This gorgeous tigeress was the Mirchahani female.  She raised the 3 tiger cubs featured in the After the Monsoon gallery; and, raising triplets to adulthood is an amazing accomplishment.  And the coolest thing about this sighting was that the Mirchanhani female was very much pregnant.  You can actually see her teats in these images and she gave birth a few weeks after my visit. All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Tigers Cubs: My Favorite Tigress
 Shot at Bandhavgarh and Pench Tiger Reserves, Central India, November 2011 with the Canon 1D Mark IV and 500mm f/4  This gorgeous tigeress was the Mirchahani female.  She raised the 3 tiger cubs featured in the After the Monsoon gallery; and, raising triplets to adulthood is an amazing accomplishment.  And the coolest thing about this sighting was that the Mirchanhani female was very much pregnant.

Horses: Horses of the Sea
 Shot in Southern France in June 2016 with the Canon 1Dx, 7D Mark II, 70-200 2.8 II and 24-70mm 2.8. It was a thrill to finally see these gorgeous, semi-wild Camargue horses in the South of France.  These spirited beauties loved frolicking in water.  That meant that we trudged through ponds, rivers and the sea as well in order to capture these images.  The muddy bottoms would snag our hip waders, jarring our feet out of our shoes; and, I'm so glad that I didn't topple over, unlike others.  Anyway, this was a new shooting experience and well worth the visit.   All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

These spirited beauties loved frolicking in water.  That meant that we trudged through ponds, rivers and the sea as well in order to capture these images.  The muddy bottoms would snag our hip waders, jarring our feet out of our shoes; and, I'm so glad that I didn't topple over, unlike others.  Anyway, this was a new shooting experience and well worth the visit.   All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Horses: Horses of the Sea
 Shot in Southern France in June 2016 with the Canon 1Dx, 7D Mark II, 70-200 2.8 II and 24-70mm 2.8. It was a thrill to finally see these gorgeous, semi-wild Camargue horses in the South of France.  These spirited beauties loved frolicking in water.  That meant that we trudged through ponds, rivers and the sea as well in order to capture these images.  The muddy bottoms would snag our hip waders, jarring our feet out of our shoes; and, I'm so glad that I didn't topple over, unlike others.  Anyway, this was a new shooting experience and well worth the visit.   All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Horses: Horses of the Sea
 Shot in Southern France in June 2016 with the Canon 1Dx, 7D Mark II, 70-200 2.8 II and 24-70mm 2.8. It was a thrill to finally see these gorgeous, semi-wild Camargue horses in the South of France.  These spirited beauties loved frolicking in water.  That meant that we trudged through ponds, rivers and the sea as well in order to capture these images.  The muddy bottoms would snag our hip waders, jarring our feet out of our shoes; and, I'm so glad that I didn't topple over, unlike others.

 Shot in Southern France in June 2016 with the Canon 1Dx, 7D Mark II, 70-200 2.8 II and 24-70mm 2.8. It was a thrill to finally see these gorgeous, semi-wild Camargue horses in the South of France.  These spirited beauties loved frolicking in water.  That meant that we trudged through ponds, rivers and the sea as well in order to capture these images.  The muddy bottoms would snag our hip waders, jarring our feet out of our shoes; and, I'm so glad that I didn't topple over, unlike others.  Anyway, this was a new shooting experience and well worth the visit.   All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Horses: Horses of the Sea
 Shot in Southern France in June 2016 with the Canon 1Dx, 7D Mark II, 70-200 2.8 II and 24-70mm 2.8. It was a thrill to finally see these gorgeous, semi-wild Camargue horses in the South of France.  These spirited beauties loved frolicking in water.  That meant that we trudged through ponds, rivers and the sea as well in order to capture these images.

 Shot in Southern France in June 2016 with the Canon 1Dx, 7D Mark II, 70-200 2.8 II and 24-70mm 2.8. It was a thrill to finally see these gorgeous, semi-wild Camargue horses in the South of France.  These spirited beauties loved frolicking in water.  That meant that we trudged through ponds, rivers and the sea as well in order to capture these images.  The muddy bottoms would snag our hip waders, jarring our feet out of our shoes; and, I'm so glad that I didn't topple over, unlike others.  Anyway, this was a new shooting experience and well worth the visit.   All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Horses: Horses of the Sea
 Shot in Southern France in June 2016 with the Canon 1Dx, 7D Mark II, 70-200 2.8 II and 24-70mm 2.8. It was a thrill to finally see these gorgeous, semi-wild Camargue horses in the South of France.  These spirited beauties loved frolicking in water.  That meant that we trudged through ponds, rivers and the sea as well in order to capture these images.  The muddy bottoms would snag our hip waders, jarring our feet out of our shoes; and, I'm so glad that I didn't topple over, unlike others.  Anyway, this was a new shooting experience and well worth the visit.   All images © Christina J. Prestegard 2004 - 2026.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Horses: Born to be Free
 Shot on public land near Albuquerque, New Mexico in May 2010 with the Canon 1D Mark III and 300 f/2.8 These are free spirited wild mustangs that live and roam on public land.  Wild mustangs are an iconic symbol of the American Wild West and are protected by Federal Law.  Back in 1900, there were 2 million wild horses roaming freely in Nevada, Montana, California, Wyoming and Oregon.  By 2019, the estimated number was 72,000 plus 30,000 - 36,000 that were rounded up - aka captured - and confined in holding pens.  Many of these captured horses are not adopted and end up living in these small holding facilities for another 10 - 15 years aka the rest of their lives. Worse yet, some of the older ones end up being sent to slaughterhouses.  This isn't right and you can learn more about the plight of these beautiful wild horses from Save Our Mustangs, American Wild Horse Campaign or Wild Horse Freedom Federation.   All images © Christina J.

Horses: Born to be Free
 Shot on public land near Albuquerque, New Mexico in May 2010 with the Canon 1D Mark III and 300 f/2.8 These are free spirited wild mustangs that live and roam on public land.  Wild mustangs are an iconic symbol of the American Wild West and are protected by Federal Law.  Back in 1900, there were 2 million wild horses roaming freely in Nevada, Montana, California, Wyoming and Oregon.  By 2019, the estimated number was 72,000 plus 30,000 - 36,000 that were rounded up - aka captured - and confined in holding pens.  Many of these captured horses are not adopted and end up living in these small holding facilities for another 10 - 15 years aka the rest of their lives. Worse yet, some of the older ones end up being sent to slaughterhouses.

Horses: Born to be Free
 Shot on public land near Albuquerque, New Mexico in May 2010 with the Canon 1D Mark III and 300 f/2.8 These are free spirited wild mustangs that live and roam on public land.  Wild mustangs are an iconic symbol of the American Wild West and are protected by Federal Law.  Back in 1900, there were 2 million wild horses roaming freely in Nevada, Montana, California, Wyoming and Oregon.  By 2019, the estimated number was 72,000 plus 30,000 - 36,000 that were rounded up - aka captured - and confined in holding pens.  Many of these captured horses are not adopted and end up living in these small holding facilities for another 10 - 15 years aka the rest of their lives. Worse yet, some of the older ones end up being sent to slaughterhouses.

Horses: Born to be Free
 Shot on public land near Albuquerque, New Mexico in May 2010 with the Canon 1D Mark III and 300 f/2.8 These are free spirited wild mustangs that live and roam on public land.  Wild mustangs are an iconic symbol of the American Wild West and are protected by Federal Law.  Back in 1900, there were 2 million wild horses roaming freely in Nevada, Montana, California, Wyoming and Oregon.  By 2019, the estimated number was 72,000 plus 30,000 - 36,000 that were rounded up - aka captured - and confined in holding pens.  Many of these captured horses are not adopted and end up living in these small holding facilities for another 10 - 15 years aka the rest of their lives. Worse yet, some of the older ones end up being sent to slaughterhouses.

Horses: Born to be Free
 Shot on public land near Albuquerque, New Mexico in May 2010 with the Canon 1D Mark III and 300 f/2.8 These are free spirited wild mustangs that live and roam on public land.  Wild mustangs are an iconic symbol of the American Wild West and are protected by Federal Law.  Back in 1900, there were 2 million wild horses roaming freely in Nevada, Montana, California, Wyoming and Oregon.  By 2019, the estimated number was 72,000 plus 30,000 - 36,000 that were rounded up - aka captured - and confined in holding pens.  Many of these captured horses are not adopted and end up living in these small holding facilities for another 10 - 15 years aka the rest of their lives. Worse yet, some of the older ones end up being sent to slaughterhouses.

Horses: Born to be Free
 Shot on public land near Albuquerque, New Mexico in May 2010 with the Canon 1D Mark III and 300 f/2.8 These are free spirited wild mustangs that live and roam on public land.  Wild mustangs are an iconic symbol of the American Wild West and are protected by Federal Law.  Back in 1900, there were 2 million wild horses roaming freely in Nevada, Montana, California, Wyoming and Oregon.  By 2019, the estimated number was 72,000 plus 30,000 - 36,000 that were rounded up - aka captured - and confined in holding pens.  Many of these captured horses are not adopted and end up living in these small holding facilities for another 10 - 15 years aka the rest of their lives. Worse yet, some of the older ones end up being sent to slaughterhouses.  This isn't right and you can learn more about the plight of these beautiful wild horses from Save Our Mustangs, American Wild Horse Campaign or Wild Horse Freedom Federation.   All images © Christina J.

More Just Wild: Wildlife in Brazil
 Shot in the Pantanal, Brazil in July 2009 with the Canon 1D Mark III and 500mm f/4 This was my first and only trip to South American in hopes of seeing wild jaquars in The Pantanal, Brazil. The accommodations and food were too rustic for me back in 2009 and it wasn't a great experience.  The sightings were okay but not as prolific as photo tours nowadays.  Although we did see a few jaquars on the river and heard them roaming camp (one naughty cat made a kill beneath the end tent), I much prefer African leopards for their more refined beauty, not to mention more opportunities to see cubs. All images © Christina J.

More Just Wild: Wildlife in Brazil
 Shot in the Pantanal, Brazil in July 2009 with the Canon 1D Mark III and 500mm f/4 This was my first and only trip to South American in hopes of seeing wild jaquars in The Pantanal, Brazil. The accommodations and food were too rustic for me back in 2009 and it wasn't a great experience.  The sightings were okay but not as prolific as photo tours nowadays.  Although we did see a few jaquars on the river and heard them roaming camp (one naughty cat made a kill beneath the end tent), I much prefer African leopards for their more refined beauty, not to mention more opportunities to see cubs. All images © Christina J.

More Just Wild: Wildlife in Brazil
 Shot in the Pantanal, Brazil in July 2009 with the Canon 1D Mark III and 500mm f/4 This was my first and only trip to South American in hopes of seeing wild jaquars in The Pantanal, Brazil. The accommodations and food were too rustic for me back in 2009 and it wasn't a great experience.  The sightings were okay but not as prolific as photo tours nowadays.  Although we did see a few jaquars on the river and heard them roaming camp (one naughty cat made a kill beneath the end tent), I much prefer African leopards for their more refined beauty, not to mention more opportunities to see cubs. All images © Christina J.

More Just Wild: Wildlife in Brazil
 Shot in the Pantanal, Brazil in July 2009 with the Canon 1D Mark III and 500mm f/4 This was my first and only trip to South American in hopes of seeing wild jaquars in The Pantanal, Brazil. The accommodations and food were too rustic for me back in 2009 and it wasn't a great experience.  The sightings were okay but not as prolific as photo tours nowadays.  Although we did see a few jaquars on the river and heard them roaming camp (one naughty cat made a kill beneath the end tent), I much prefer African leopards for their more refined beauty, not to mention more opportunities to see cubs. All images © Christina J.

More Just Wild: Wildlife in Brazil
 Shot in the Pantanal, Brazil in July 2009 with the Canon 1D Mark III and 500mm f/4 This was my first and only trip to South American in hopes of seeing wild jaquars in The Pantanal, Brazil. The accommodations and food were too rustic for me back in 2009 and it wasn't a great experience.  The sightings were okay but not as prolific as photo tours nowadays.  Although we did see a few jaquars on the river and heard them roaming camp (one naughty cat made a kill beneath the end tent), I much prefer African leopards for their more refined beauty, not to mention more opportunities to see cubs. All images © Christina J.
