22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Féroce

This photo shows a tigress trying to persuade anyone to come into her territory. She was sleeping peacefully on the road and almost every jeep in the area was watching her. The reason? This tigress had given birth to 3 cubs a few weeks earlier, and everyone was hoping to see them. Unfortunately, after hours of waiting, there were no cubs to be seen.
