We were lucky enough to see the tiger "Pacman" on safari. I struggled to get a clear shot as I was shaking with excitement. Ranthambore National Park Park, India.
The only operational Tiger I in the world.
A solid shot from a Churchill tank hit the Tiger's gun barrel and ricocheted into its turret ring, jamming its traverse ability, wounding the driver and front gunner and destroying the radio. A second shot hit the turret lifting lug, disabling the gun's elevation device. A third shot hit the loader's hatch, deflecting fragments into the turret. The German crew bailed out, taking their wounded with them and leaving the knocked-out but still driveable and largely intact tank behind. The tank was secured by the British.
Shot in natural habitat during a jeep safari at Ranthambhore National Park, Rajasthan, India. This was taken in the afternoon in Zone 3 of the national park.
I really enjoy visiting the Amur tiger section at Longleat, as I find them extremely beautiful animals. The tigers at Longleat are well looked after, and the zoo keepers are very good at feeding times as they occasionally hide the meat in the branches of trees so that when the tigers are let into their enclosure they have to search for their food.
Amur tigers are fully mature and able to mate from 4 years of age. Their cubs are born small, helpless and blind and depend on their mother for safety and for the mother’s milk. Tiger cubs grow very fast and will be almost 4 times their original size after just one month.
The Amur tiger is also known as the Siberian tiger, and are considered to be the largest of all of the big cats. They have many stripes; however no two tigers have the same stripe pattern. Amur tigers are now protected by law in the wild and are linked to conservation projects.

Took the Bigma to the zoo and only got to the tiger enclosure before the sky clouded over and thunder started to rumble, oh well, I'll need to take another trip.

Tigers have binocular vision which means they can see three dimensional images and accurately assess distance and depth. They also have excellent peripheral and night vision.
