History is full of stories where mothers have gone to extreme lengths to save their offspring and young ones. In art, literature and movies too, the role of the mother, and the various struggles she endures throughout her lifetime, has been well documented. The thought of doing anything to ensure the safety of her child, to the extent of even putting her in harm\u2019s way, is something that has been known to us for a long time. Something similar was recently witnessed at the Ranthambore National Park<\/a>, with tourists capturing the entire video during their safari.<\/p>\n

The tigress and the tiger: The battle starts!<\/h3>\n

At Ranthambore National Park, located in close proximity to Sawai Madhopur in Rajasthan, visitors got to see mother power in full display. In a video which captured the entire incident, a tigress is shown protecting her cub from a prowling tiger. As the video starts, one can see the mother constantly pushing her young one into the muddy water. As the tiger approaches the mother and the cub, she keeps him down, with the hope of hiding him from the eyes of the tiger. One can clearly see the apprehension and tension building up all around, even as the mother does not let off her guard for one minute. With her eyes fixed on the tiger at all times, she stands just behind her cub, who seems all happy and excited at this little game in the water.<\/p>\n

We are safe, says the tigress to her cub!<\/h3>\n
