Unmistakably Royal
Bengal Tiger | Panthera tigris tigris
ABOUT THE PHOTO
See those white spots on the back of the ears? They're believed to be false eyes — a silent warning to anything creeping up from behind while the tiger is focused forward. Nature's way of saying: even when it's not looking at you, it sees you. This Bengal tiger, however, needed no such warning — walking straight into the frame, eyes locked, making it very clear it already knew exactly where you were.
