A Tiger Photo Series

And so the story goes...
Some tigers are in the water. Ya know, just chillin'.

-
Then an SUV arrives...

-
The tigers are intrigued...

-
They throw a duck into the water with the tigers.
People pay for this, $30 US for a duck. ($200 US for a full cow.)
I did not pay for it, but someone did, so I got to watch.

-
So, the duck gets attacked.
One tiger doesn't really care, he already has a duck.

-
He got the duck. Now there are two tigers with ducks!

-
But wait. Oh, oh, Duck is getting away!!

-
Duck doesn't stand a chance, everyone is coming over!

-
There is a tussle...

-
And a tiger grabs the duck and runs up the hill away from the others.

-
The remaining tigers look inquisitively at the SUV.
"More duck? Why no duck? Maybe little duck?"

-
End it off with a sleeping baby tiger...
