I am sure this will be my last look at her - she is over 16 years old as against an average life of 11-12 years for a tiger in the wild, and has brought up a record 5 litters. As it is, she does not have canines left, and the forest department are at present feeding her by leaving fresh, dead buffalo calves in her territory. She could hardly keep her eyes open when I saw her - she half opened her eyes, took a look at us, and promptly went back to sleep. Anyway, it was good to see her one last time: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/Ranthambhore_001/2011/Ranthambhore_20110305_1450-Edit.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/Ranthambhore_001/2011/Ranthambhore_20110305_1446-Edit.jpg.html C&C, as usual, welcome Cheers Jayanand
