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!
Glad to see you did not end as his lunch ! ;-)

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!
ReplyDeleteThanks 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!
ReplyDeleteTigers are the BEST cat around!!! You and I...we love tigers.
