During my childhood days I used to see my dog stretching after waking up. It is only after many years I learnt that animals and birds stretch after waking up. Don't see many people doing that.
This shot of tiger stretching is from Bandhavgarh from my archives.
ISO 200, 560mm (Canon EOS 400mm f2.8 L IS USM lens plus 1.4x TC), f5.6, 1/800, tripod.
Which other animals have you seen stretching after they have woken up?

Nice and a bit of different stripe pattern for this Tiger!Its attention seem to be on something interesting.
I have seen house cats stretching like an arc!

Natural behavior nicely captured .Seems to be a sub adult . Dholes , and other members of the canine and also feline families exhibit the same behavior before transiting from a state of sleepy languor to normal activity .Thanks for sharing .
Nice to see this young sub-adult tiger. The dry grass in the background shows the typical Bandhavgarh habitat. Agree with Sankarji and Shyamalaji, I too have seen cats and dogs display this behaviour. Thanks for sharing.
