That particular morning drive we took in TATR will go down in my memory as sweet!
Every gamble we took, every move we made resulted in some fantastic sightings of tigers :-)
Here is one of the many memorable images I made of the young tigress in this frame, trying to stalk a group of wild boar on the other side of the road.

It can be observed that she was carefully putting her hind paw in exactly the same place as the front paw actually was;
this, tigers do to keep the rumbling noise of leaves minimum. Here, although there were no leaves, the tiger just did it out of habit, and a good one at that!
