Thanks a lot Lancaster

I have a fascination for this big cat.Your pictures are awesome and You strike a chord.
How sturdy are these very big cats. The massive head is wonderful, a pity that some guys decapited their game, a shame.
The rosettes and the hues are very different though the melanistic variety is less appealling.
I was vey tempted to hunt the tigro a couple of years ago. Even though he is protected, I was offered by a marginal PH to hunt one, and the skin being smuggled to France. The trouble wasn't to find a cat, as a great deal of farmers will happily help to be rid of what they consider a pest. The trouble is to break the law and take the risk of smuggling the skin.
Thanks indeed for such a wonderful collection of rare pics and no thanks for fuelling my violent desire to get one.

I haven't read Tony de Almeida book. I have just had an inkling with Capstick "Death in the silent places", and an insight with Jacques Vettier "Jaguars geants du Pantanal"and the best Sasha Siemel " Tigrero" that I have read again and again.

a free book that is stored in my ebooks and that I forgot to read , thanks for reminding me of it
