stay away

This female Sumatran Tiger was trying to escape the heat when she

turned and noticed the camera.

thanks for your thoughts

Okay, I'll admit it.  In commenting on this I may be trying to come to grips with my inner demons.  A huge tiger recently caused me to have a bad fall and break my back!  (I was against a fence at a Feline Rescue Center, and he decided to lunge at me!)  They are remarkable animals though, and this is a particularly ferocious capture.  Thanks for helping in my 'recovery'.  ;-)

Hi Christal thank you for your comments. I'm sorry to hear about your experience with these magnificent cats but as you say perhaps this image will help in some way to showcase just how amazing they are. Hope you feel better :)
