Wildlife Photography in Bandhavgarh National Park | TIGER COUNTRY Ep. 4 - A Royal Bloodline.
Welcome to a Tiger reserve that's a favourite of every wildlife enthusiast and nature lover - Bandhavgarh National Park. In the previous episodes of Tiger Country, we sighted and photographed several species that the jungles of Madhya Pradesh are home to. We documented Leopards, Sloth Bears, Barasingha, Jackals, Gaur, various birds and a whole lot more.
With Bandhavgarh having one of the highest densities of Tigers, it made sense to focus solely on them and film / photograph their behaviour. This approach gave us an incredible insight into a lesser-known social structure amongst them. Tune into the entire episode to find out exactly how the game of submission vs succession plays out.
Along the way, we'll also encounter the late Tigress, Spotty, months before her passing, as well as her young adult cub, 7A, as he feeds on an old Spotted Deer kill.
On a personal note, this visit to Bandhavgarh has been my most cherished wildlife expedition. The many landscapes are absolutely breathtaking and I saw a total of 17 Tigers spread across 8 safaris. Do subscribe if you haven't and I'll see you once again in the series finale of Tiger Country.
This series is co-produced by Pugdundee Safaris and Kenneth Lawrence.

With a total of 8 safaris and 17 Tiger sightings, Bandhavgarh has been one of the most incredible filming experiences I've had. I did not anticipate having so many big cat encounters and I thought it would be ideal to split Bandhavgarh into two installments. I hope you enjoy this episode, it features a remarkable social structure amongst the famously-solitary Bengal Tiger. Additional behaviour like standing territory marking (cheek rubbing), stalking and predation are also featured. This time, I took the liberty to play around with sound design to give the imagery a more immersive experience; especially when 7A feeds on the Spotted Deer. Spending ample time with tigers makes you realize that they play the real life Game of Thrones - it's always a battle of submission vs succession, every single day.

I started following you since after I saw your Pench Series. My recent visit to Pench was in March 2022, since then I been following your channel. - Superb storyline 📑, - excellent compositions 🎞, - cinematography📷 and - narration 🎤 There's lot of learning in each of these areas from your videos. If I ever wish to film something ( which indeed my dream is ), would probably on similar path as yours. Hope to see more of your videos. Any plans to cover north east/southern forests? If so would love to watch them 👍👍 Wish you good luck - CalifornianMarathi ( Sunnyvale, CA )

Absolutely phenomenal story telling with visuals to match ! The narration is so engrossing , making me want to go back to the forests , i had spent 4 days at Corbett with 8 safaris, but couldn’t spot even 1. This series has rekindled that fire again. Kenneth your work is absolutely magical. Thank you !!!

[@nettayaw2231]

Really really appreciate your work. You are not attracting only love for wildlife but lust for travel to India. I ve been there many times for culture n now I ve more reasons to visit India: Safari ♥️

[@joshdewitt8796]

Fascinating! We have been ill informed on cat behaviour before, looks at what we’ve learned about pumas! Perhaps it’s a similar situation and fragmentation of habitat has caused behavioural change.

[@rishabpandey878]

Very underrated video It's a blockbuster movie for me Keep it up bring jungle to our handset

[@paramitadey2618]

Excellent presentation, editing and videography..a big follower of your channel.👍

So lawrence which moment was more close to you I mean filming that sloth bear and their cubs or chasing the big cats???

[@KennethLawrencePhotography]

@@LazyShivam Whilst i thoroughly enjoy every moment in the wild, it's spending time with the youngins that always feel most special. The Bear cubs any day. If you recall the Satpura episode, I gave up Tiger sightings just for the Bears. ;)

[@santoshmahalik]

[@ashutoshnautiyal4474]

Watching this on the day we have 3167 tigers recorded in India..Tiger conservation efforts and their outcomes are a bright light in otherwise fading world. Good work 👍

[@vivaanbhimani7303]

Ah man. Absolutely speechless. Makes me wanna visit it all, hopefully someday! Having seen your channel grow from less than 1k viewers to this firsthand has been so so so delightful! You not only ride your luck now but all of ours' combined.. And that has resulted in MARVELLOUS documentaries every time. Neither does nature cease to surprise, nor do you...

[@KennethLawrencePhotography]

Thank you for the kind words and for being part of the journey, my friend! 🙌🏼

[@heavenandearth6016]

A masterpiece, as always. Par excellence photography and narration. It just amazes me how much effort you put in to study animal behaviour and it's always spot on. Loved the line at 8:45 , "Until of course they realize how good personal space feels", so well put in.
