Nagpur: The Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve never fails to thrill wildlife lovers, and once again it has delivered a heartwarming sight.

The star of this moment is the tigress known as ‘W Mark,’ named for the distinct W-shaped mark near her right eye. She currently has three adorable cubs, two males and one female, who are becoming a regular attraction along tourist routes. During this recent sighting, the cubs confidently walked onto the road, stayed there for a while, drank from a waterhole nearby, and eventually lay down right in the middle of the road, stopping vehicles on both sides.

While tiger sightings are a common highlight in Tadoba, this was the first time cubs blocked traffic in such a relaxed and playful way. Forest officials point out that the Mohorli route passes through buffer zones near villages, where tourists and local traffic frequently catch glimpses of the animals.

Visitors were thrilled by this rare encounter, sharing pictures and videos on social media. However, officials have reminded tourists to be responsible, avoid crowding, and never try to interact with the animals. Similar incidents in other parks have led to fines and legal actions against those who disrupt wildlife.

With the safari season approaching, tourists are eagerly awaiting more such close encounters with the cubs. For now, the sight of these playful young tigers lounging in the middle of the road remains a memorable moment for everyone lucky enough to witness it.
