There were stunning photos of a tigress and her two cubs taken by the motion detection camera (camera traps) in the Nagarjunasagar-Srisailam Tiger Reserve (NSTR), AP, India, in the Hindu today. Here is one sample photo.
It is with photos like these one gets an idea of what ‘Jim Corbett’ talks about ‘a red coloured animal’ moving through the brush. Photos, prints and paintings available at the shops, other hand, always paint the Tiger with an yellow or dust coloured coat.
The full series of 8 photos are available at Camera captures images of Tigers at the Hindu website [http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/article2211394.ece]. Be warned though, the other snaps show the tigers at their kill - which looks like a water buffalo to me - and are gruesome.
If you are looking for information on NTSR, your can find them at
A note of caution though, both websites are going to make your eyes water.
:-)
I really do not understand what really is the problem with the Government sites (in/of India). Usually they are National Informatics Centre (NIC) hosted (? designed ?) sites and who ever designs them need to have both their eyes and brains examined.

OTOH, take a look at this wildindiaguide website about the same reserve [http://www.wildindiaguide.com/national-parks-india/nagarjunasagar-srisailam-tiger-reserve.html]
- if nothing else, it is more pleasing to the eye.
