EYE TO EYE FOR A MOMENT

STORY BEHIND THE LAST PICTURE (Eye to eye for a moment)
I was very excited taking pictures. stepped down from the forest dept jeep and unknowingly came very close to this tiger (about 20 meters). Suddenly it looked on me. There was eye contact. I downed my camera. It looks furious. Ample of adrenaline flushed from my brain. couldn't decide what to do. i felt fear that never felt before. Automatically my courage also increased. By GODS blessing the tiger moved away.

Request all to see wild animals and birds with love
Will be glad to see adventurous wild life pictures and stories of other members.

Regards
Aftab Khan

Skeet shot is right.....it's a Jaguar, and second mistake "never ever step out of the Vehicle in a sanctuary " The cat will immediately start looking at you as an easy pray. Please remember that the big cats in the reserves and parks have lost their inheritant fear of human beings unlike the one's in the actual wilderness. I would largely blame the forest guide for this folly.
Good luck
