A heartwarming wildlife moment has captured the internet — a tigress keeping a vigilant watch over her playful cubs as they cool off in a forest waterhole. Shared on social media by retired IFS officer Susanta Nanda (1989 batch), the video has drawn attention not only for its tender glimpse of maternal instinct but also for its insight into the unique relationship tigers share with water.

The tweet reads:

Nature’s Air Conditioners: Tigers and Their Love for Water

Tigers are among the rare big cats that truly cherish water — and it’s more than just a plaything. Immersing themselves helps them regulate body temperature, ward off parasites and biting insects, and conserve precious energy in the sweltering heat. It’s nature’s own cooling system, captured beautifully in this intimate wildlife moment.

A Quiet Guardian Amid Playful Cacophony

The video cuts between tender and vigilant — cubs gamboling gleefully in the water, waves rippling softly, and a sinewy tigress standing watch. At once, it’s a depiction of maternal instinct, instinctive care, and the raw poetry of the wild.
