Nepal tigers

A tiger from Karnali floodplains in Bardia National park (may have to do with the camera angle but in any case this cat looks good-sized)

A big male tiger of Bardia (below) according to the news (http://kantipur.ekantipur.com/printediti...80812.html) has a taste for  a rhino calf, he has already snatched and killed an 8 months old rhino from it's mother in Jan 16, but has recently been seen following another rhino with a 3 months old calf. This is a cause for concern since the rhinos were originally brought from Chitwan so they could increase their population in two different reserves and there are only 30 odd rhinos in Bardia so every individual counts and calves are even more precious. Worse case scenario i feel will be if or when these rhino killers start targeting the mother rhinos... ..
