3 - PANTHERA TIGRIS ALTAICA: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HUNTERS AND RANGERS
This is a bit off-topic, but I decided to give it a try anyhow. Over the years, I have collected many photographs. I noticed differences between tigers shot and tigers sedated. I also noticed differences between hunters on one hand and and researchers or rangers on the other. The differences I'm referring to are not easy to describe, but they, I think, show and breath from the pictures. Compare the photographs with with researchers and sedated tigers with those with dead tigers and hunters tell me what you see.
