Happy Year of the Tiger!



(Rare guest appearance by Jaffa.)

Happy Valentine's Day as well. In honour of the holidays I thought I'd do a photography challenge. I was afraid hearts and cupids would be a bit thin on the ground around Beechwood so I decided to search for evidence of tigers.

Not many people have seen the elusive Don Valley tigers, but it's simply a matter of recognizing the subtle signs they leave behind. You may find a bit of tiger fur caught in a tree:




Sometimes you'll see the markings tigers leave around their territory:




I wonder what mysterious messages they're sending to other tigers?




Giant tiger paw-prints are a good indication you're looking in the right place:




A good tracker would immediately spot these tiger droppings on the ground:




Here we see the remains of the fierce predator's meal:

Don't get too close! Danger!

Tigers. They're everywhere.
