BENGAL TIGER PLANS ATTACK ON UNSUSPECTING DEER

SNEAKING slowly into the water, this Bengal tiger plans a vicious attack on three unsuspecting deer. The big cat bobs its head above the water as it moves in closer, ready to pounce. Belgian software developer Stefan Cruysberghs photographed the tense attack at Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, one of the largest national parks in the state Maharashtra in India. The 38-year-old, of Lommel, Belgium, says: “During our drive we stopped at a waterhole and three sambar deer were drinking in the middle of the pool.
