i love tigers! what an incredible picture!
Hi Eve,
Indeed the picture is incredible, as Sachie says.
I've always been very touched by the fate of tigers and poaching.
I know, I was pleasantly surprised to find them making an effort to save this tiger since there is a notorious black market for poaching tigers in India...good news...
