Nice yawn. Shows the tiger in a relaxed mood, the way it should be in a jungle. The invasive weeds infront of the tiger and behind it shows what is wrong in this tiger reserve.

We don't often sight tigers in Nagarhole. I remember the last sighting was very brief. I think this went on for close to half an hour. I need to check the time stamp to know.

I think hardly 15 odd mins after this tiger sighting, we had the sighting of our life time in form of the black panther. For a brief moment, it got disturbed by the Canter and then crossed the dirt track to the other side to climb the fallen tree. Will remember this day for a long long time.
