Another day, another tiger

We saw another tiger this morning on our early morning drive. It was a huge male tiger that was stretched out on a river bank asleep. He must have eaten well last night as he was sleeping soundly.  We stayed and watched him for about an hour, hoping that he would get up and move but all he did was turn over. This was more what I expected to see if we  spotted one. Yesterday was truly a National Geographic Moment.  I can't imagine ever seeing one any better than this. This park is huge and the tigers have territories with a male roaming over several territories. The naturalist said the female we saw yesterday has jumped the park boundry and decided our camp is her territory as well and about every two weeks they see her come to check things out. She was here last week so we are safe as they expect her to come back through next week. Whew.  Almost time for our next drive so better go get ready.
