TIGER ATTACKING A BUFFALO. Watching by the spot where animals come to drink, the Tiger in the picture has had its stealth rewarded
by a victim. The Asiatic Buffalo is one of the most difficult prey with which the Tiger has to do, and under ordinary conditions the Buffalo gets the better
of the Tiger that attacks it. In the instance shown in the picture, however, the Buffalo has been taken at a moment of hopeless disadvantage by its stealthy
assailant, and is evidently doomed. The method of the Tiger's attack is told in a graphic manner by this picture.

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. |
