If you take any activity, any art, any discipline, any skill - take it and push it as far as it will go, push it beyond where it has ever been before, push it to the wildest edges of edges, then you force it into the realm of magic.

You are indeed blessed to look into a tiger's eye, that too at 20 m. Great going.

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
