Day 8--Safari in Ranthambhore India

Went out on safari this AM in Ranthambhore National Park.  It is one of tiger conservation areas of India.  I was on the drive with 4 other people.  Three of them were tiger stalkers.  They have gone on many safaris and are keeping track of tigers by name.  This lovely creature is Tiger 73, a five year old female.


If you want to learn more about her, here's her bio.  It seems that in trying to keep these beautiful bengals from extinction people are keeping track of their whereabouts.


The amazing thing was, our guide took us to the spot where he thought we might find a tiger and there were none to be found.  It was on our way back that we spotted the wondrous animal.  I was wearing tiger earrings for good luck.


We say all kinds of other creature including a scops owl hiding in a dug out part of a tree.  There is not the abundance of wildlife that I saw in South Africa, but still pretty amazing.






I hope this afternoon is a wonderful!!
