A Tiger and its stripes!

[V S Sankar]

A close look at the stripe pattern of a Tiger from Tadoba!Each TIger has its own stripe pattern.Distinguishing one Tiger from another based on stripe pattern is a difficult task though!

Good details on the coat. The stripe pattern looks nice. As it is said that in nature not one leaf is like the other, there is so much variety. Looks like there are some wound marks on the front side, near the shoulders. Just a bit more space on the right to include the tail tip would have been nice. Thanks for sharing.

He is a veteran. Some of his battle scars look recent. There is intense competition for suitable territory. The national parks have better protection. The moment a tiger moves on to the adjoining forests the struggle to find prey increases manifold as well as the effort needed to avoid poachers.
