Stalking Tigress

[Murugan Anantharaman]

We saw this tigress resting by a tree near a water body for quite sometime. We also noticed that while the tigress was sleeping a wild boar had come near the water to quench itself oblivious to the tigress. Just when we thought the tigress seemed in deep sleep we saw her quickly but steadily wake up and move towards the boar. We saw it stalking for a while but then we were forced to move out as it was nearing park closing time. Moreover Mr.Anna Hazare was there with the forest dept and he stayed back while our guide and driver forced us out. Came to know the next day that the tigress did not kill.

So she thought of going for the kill, but left it in the end. Nice display of habitat. VIP's always have special privileges everywhere :(. Thanks for sharing.

A tiger stalking its prey is always a nice thing to watch. I hope Anna Hazare understands conservation. If such people with mass base can support conservation movement, then certainly it would be very good.
