YPS Wildlife Week Meet | Life of a tiger in the wild | Saturday, Oct 03, 2026 | Google Meet

Presentation and Talk by: Praveen Kumar H V, _{FRPS, MFIAP, Hon. YPS}

In the wild, a tiger moves through its forest with patience and purpose. It patrols its territory, hunts for food, and rests beneath the shade of trees. Each day demands strength and vigilance. Its survival depends on healthy forests, abundant prey, and the freedom to roam beyond constant human disturbance.
