Tiger
The tiger is the largest cat species, reaching a total body length of up to 3.3 m and weighing up to 306 kg. Its most recognizable feature is a pattern of dark vertical stripes on reddish-orange fur with a lighter underside
In the past, tigers were found throughout Asia, from the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea to Siberia and the Indonesian islands of Java, Bali and Sumatra. During the 20th century, tigers have been extirpated in western Asia and became restricted to isolated pockets in the remaining parts of their range. Today, their fragmented and partly degraded range extends from India in the west to China and Southeast Asia.
Adult tigers lead solitary lives and congregate only on an ad hoc and transitory basis when special conditions permit, such as plentiful supply of food. They establish and maintain home ranges.

Feel sorry for the deer though!
Great series. You were lucky to get these shots in the wild.
