Great shots, don't think that I would like to be bit by one of these, the jaws look lethal.

nice set lester.
I can vouch for how tough tigers are to get.they run away,and fly.
almost need a long lens to get them from a distance.

This one was running around the undergrowth at Thursley NNR Linda. I saw three yesterday there and two of the Wood Tiger (a shot from 2012 below). The behaviour seems to be to fly to a location, settle for about 20 seconds then fly about 10-20 ft away. So getting a shot is hard.
