Every once in a while we bring you an image from our Captive Beauty series. This is one of those images. Bengal tigers are in a class all their own when it comes to poise, grace and elegance. They are one of the few animals that will make eye contact with you and hold it until You look a way. We have long had a fascination for the large predator cats and tigers are at the top of the list.

If you are a long time reader of the blog you will have seen the other posts in this ongoing series. If you haven’t, simply enter Captive Beauty in the search box at the top of the page and you will see the previous posts. As usual this is not an opportunity to weigh the pro’s and con’s of animals that are no longer free. Instead it is an opportunity to see their natural beauty and perhaps reacquaint yourself with how fantastic the animal life in our world is. What you chose to do with that information is up to you.
