It took 3 safari drives to capture the image of a tiger in the wild. He's known as T-28 or Star.
If you look close he has a star on his left cheek. We had the best guides and driver. Dinesh Durrani who once guided Pierre Trudeau on safari. On approximate 25 trips to Ranthambore National park he has always been sucessful in seeing the tiger. Our other guide said not to worry we will see the tiger.
   Ranthambore has 5 zones. On our final drive we encompassed parts of 3 zones being  though allowed only one zone per drive. We had special status as we were there to photograph the tiger. Near the end drive our guide shouted he saw his tail. All hayem broke loose. We started to get in position and our guide is yelling for other jeeps to get out of the way.as he took control. As we came out of the bush several had pictures by some water. But when I looked he was gone. What happened was a lady fell out of her jeep and was unconsious and they jumped out to rescue her. This spooked the tiger. If this was tiger T - 17 who has tasted human blood the results might be different.
   Our driver at the time was shifting gears and we are going in different directions. Our guide repeated don't worry we will see the tiger. We drove past the other jeeps back to the bush and shortly we came upon the tiger laying in the grasses. He laid there for 30 seconds before he growled and got up and retreated into the tall grasses. Thanks goes to James Cowie for arranging the top people in leading this safari.
