Tigers are seen as the ultimate predator, with immense speed and strength; they can bring down prey up to 10 times their own weight. They are also among the only members of the cat family to take readily to water. Excellent swimmers, they can be seen dipping into Bandhavgarh's rivers and ponds to stay cool -- as well as to hunt.
