Have you ever noticed the white distinctive spots on the back of tigers ears ??......They are known as False eyes of a Tiger.The markings make tigers appear larger and more watchful, which may discourage other animals from attacking.When threatened, tigers may twist their ears around so that the backs face forward.The markings help cubs follow their mother in the jungle and may fool other animals into thinking the tiger is facing a different direction.When tigers drink from a body of water, they typically have their ears pinned back, making it appear as if they have larger eyes, which may scare other animals.

Leopard on Tree @ Nagarahole Coorg Forest
In the early morning, deep within the heart of the dense jungle of Nagarahole Coorg, a herd of spotted deer sounded alarm calls upon spotting a leopard with a coat of golden fur adorned with rosettes, standing gracefully on a branch of a tree, its predatory focus keenly honed. As we focused on the leopard's actions, it waited patiently for an opportunity to strike.After a prolonged wait, the leopard, unable to catch its prey, glanced downward, scanning its surroundings in a 360-degree sweep, seeking a safe path for descent from the tree. Finally, it carefully descended.The deer had indeed been fortunate that day!
Closeup Shot of Leopard
We found a leopard sitting on a dark, V-shaped branch, showing its back to the camera inside the Nagarahole Coorg forest. Somehow, we managed to get the focus and find the leopard. While we were looking and taking pictures of the leopard, it started to move from that place. We also started to move in the direction the leopard was heading and stopped at another location. This time, we had a clear view of the leopard sitting and relaxing on the V-shaped branch in the middle of green bushes. It was very difficult to get a clear focus on the leopard with the camera as it was very far from us. Finally, we got a picture with clear focus, composition, and proper framing of the leopard.

Without hesitation, we bolted to the scene, determined not to miss the sight. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the mesmerizing sight of a perfectly camouflaged leopard, lost in a daydream, stretching and dozing peacefully on a tree branch in the tranquil morning light of Nagarahole Coorg forest. And, of course, I didn't miss the opportunity to capture those precious moments with my camera.
