00:00In the Tarai arc of India and Nepal, a few fragments of the tiger's original tall grassland

00:08habitat support the densest populations of tigers.

00:16And they share these tall grass savannas with some of the most endangered wildlife on the

00:23planet.

00:26The few fragments of the Tarai that still survive contain some of the most diverse habitats

00:32in Asia.

00:35A mixture of grasses, scrub, forest, swamp forest and river creates a richness and intensity

00:42of life that has all but disappeared.

00:51While these savannas may harbour the densest populations of tigers in the world, it isn't

00:55where most tiger films are made for one very good reason.

01:00It's almost impossible to see tigers here at all.

01:05Grass and other thick vegetation obscures almost everything.

01:10It's a real privilege to spend time in this almost extinct wildlife community, looking

01:17for the tiger mother and her two almost full-grown cubs I was told were in the area.

01:32In the dry season, the grass is shortest and gives me the best chance of seeing a big cat.
