A king without a kingdom

The Indian tiger is a harried creature. Hounded out of its territory, killed for its skin and bones and persecuted mercilessly in the small pockets it survives in. Truly, a king without a kingdom.













I have been tracking this King of the beasts out of concern for years now. I realize that he has become more elusive because of the constant presure imposed on him by insensitive humans. It make's him a reluctant royalty who abhors public appearances unless in captivity. Still, the tiger remains one of God's most beautiful creatures whether captive or running free.
