INDIAN WILDLIFE

India is the only place in the world where four of the largest cats are found, and boasts of both the Lion and the Tiger. Although the country is steeped in Tiger lore, the Lion was the national animal until 1972, when it was dethroned by the Tiger; it nevertheless still graces our national emblem, 'the four Lions of Ashoka'. India also has on offer a staggering assortment of flora supporting an equally astounding variety of fauna, including 1200 species of birds, 350 species of mammals and over 400 species of reptiles.

At last I saw it. The unmistakable glow of the striped coat: the powerful, unhurried, silent walk. It was my first tiger, confidently strolling down the middle of the road. The power and pure beauty of the moment cast a spell which was to become a driving passion in my life in the months and years ahead.
