Video Male Tiger in Pursuit

It was a fine morning whence we located tiger prints on the hill while on safari. We tracked the tiger down after a lot of driving and reaching the right spot from where he usually emerges. We had to wait not for long for the trepidation among the heads of the gaur family to inform us of what to expect. 


Rightly so he emerged from the bushes silently like a ghost and then came into the open at the fire line. We rolled down the hill a bit and waited. The big male tiger emerged behind us in what looked like a pre-programmed move. Unmindful of us he began scent marking and walked down towards us. It was a shaky safari as we reversed to maintain a safe distance the video here tells all.
