"...an Axis Deer and its mate and young one appeared leisurely eating grass. Soon the male deer became uneasy sniffing the air suspiciously... a moment or so later a splendid creature sprang out of concealment without making a sound. The deer escaped, but the doe was borne to the earth by the tiger's claws."

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest cat species, most recognisable for their pattern of dark vertical stripes on reddish-orange fur with a lighter underside. Tigers once ranged widely across eastern Eurasia, from the Black Sea in the west, to the Indian Ocean in the south, and from Kolyma to Sumatra in the east.
The chital or cheetal (Axis axis), also known as spotted deer or axis deer, is a deer found in the Indian subcontinent |
