A Siberian tiger viewed from behind. Note the "eyes" on the back of its ears, to ward off being snuck up on. Can't be many creatures that would try it.
Found this in one of three articles written by Patrick Evans for the The Japan Times Sunday feature... collectively part travelogue, part wildlife, part conservation tale about the Siberian tiger and life in Eastern Russia. http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fl20100214x1.html
Such an amazing beauty!
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying my visit here Magpie and am honored to be on your sidebar. I'm sorry it took me so long to add you to my bloglist! Are you native Australian?
I'll be by again, take care! Sue
Thanks for coming by Sue.
ReplyDeleteI'm Australian of European descent.
The flag next to the Australian one on the top right is the aboriginal flag. I put it there because this was their land first, in the spirit of reconciliation.
I'm with you, my friend. What crazy animal would chance a sneak attack against a tiger???
ReplyDeleteMybe the animal kingdom has it's collection of fools too :-)
