Ahh, the water is grrrrrrrrrrrreat!This big cat loves getting wet...he was keeping cool after feeding on a couple of dressed chicken. Tigers are powerful swimmers, and like jaguars, they are at home in the water. Drenching and drying keep tigers cool during the hottest part of the day. They soak for about an hour then emerge shaking the excess water from their coat like a dog.
Ohhh, why do you tease me? Gimme that, or I'll have your fingers for lunch! 
OK, take your dang picture! I'm so photogenic! Grrrrrr!

I love tigers, especially love watching the in the water... seems so different than what we are familiar with in the habits of domestic cats!
Thanks for stopping by and your comments. The pearl divers were amazing. They had to be able to hold there breath for an extended period of time. My daughter has a collection of pearls from there including "twins", two pearls from one oyster!
Tigers are such beautiful, graceful animals. How interesting that they stay cool in the water. I didn't know that!
Tigers are the BEST cat around!!! You and I...we love tigers.
Happy Outdoor Wednesday...hope you can stop by to visit with me...I have lots of water photos today.
Grrrrreat capture you were so close to him!
Tigers are my favorite, such magnificent creatures, but I have never been as close as you were……YIKES!
Yikes tigre! I didn't know that tigers could swim!
Great tiger shots...albeit scary.
Like the first photo..looks like the tiger enjoyed the refreshing water.
By the way, thanks for visiting my blog. :)

What beautiful pictures of this fierce tiger! Love the fact that they soak in water (they ARE cats!) to keep cool! None of my kitties would ever do that! Thanks for these great pics!

Cool shots of the tiger, I did not know they like the water so much.
