Wild Tiger

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Murugan,
I have been charged at twice by tigers, once because my driver made a mistake and in another instance unknowingly I had come between the tigress and its cubs. I have immense respect for them. I will never irritate them to get a photo. I guess I know the person you are mentioning.

As far as this image is concerned, the tiger was yawning and is just closing its mouth after the yawn. However, people who view this feel that the tiger is very annoyed. How easily the tiger is mistaken. I always love to capture some of these micro-expressions during the yawn.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

I will absolutely vouch that you would not have irritated the tiger which is why I wrote without provocation .

Its amazing we decipher with our little knowledge the various expressions of the tiger. Good to know it was not irritated . What a beautiful yawn!!!
