Sad Tiger

Kanha, Madhya Pradesh, 6 Dec 2005

This is one part of tiger sighting I did not like at all - The elephant back. The tiger is trapped by the elephants.

Truck loads of tourists come on elephant back to have a look and take photographs. Some even give some money to the mahouts to make the tiger do whatever they want making it look like a tiger in the circus.

Look at this tiger's sad face, hardly looks wild anymore.
