Drink

An image of a tigress drinking water. Mark the alert gaze. Herbivores as well as carnivores i.e. the prey as well as the predators remain alert while drinking water. This is the jhurjhura tigress of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve photographed in an early summer morning.

Beautiful. The pose and the eye contact are great. I was trying to search images for Jhurjhura tigress and saw this one. It nicely shows the habitat and the behaviour. A tragic end to a beautiful animal.
