Marking territory, Ranthambore National Park, India, 2008’

The tiger in the previous image walked directly in front of our vehicle for minute or so, and stopped to spray the grass with urine -- telling the world that this land is hers. Many wildlife photographers prefer making portraits of animals. I much prefer interpreting their behavior and actions. This tiger is communicating with us -- she is showing us who the boss is here.

Thanks, Sofia. It's a "her"! I don't think males need to lift their tails when marking territory.
