Follow this tiger family through Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan, India, where every step seems effortless and every shadow could hide a striped giant.

These are Bengal tigers, built for both stealth and power: an adult can stretch over 3 metres from nose to tail and weigh up to 230 kilograms, yet walk without making a sound.

Their distinctive stripes also play a part in a landscape where visibility is a double-edged sword, helping them blend into tall grasses and dappled forests so prey struggle to spot them.
