Hammerhead, what did the poor tiger run into? A poacher with a chainsaw?
Prashantji, nice pics, and very nice trophy. Are the cheetahs so tame that they pose for pics? Cute!
By the way, how much does it cost to hunt in SA? Can you hire guns also? I was tempted enough to save up some moolah for the same.
And for those who are interested, Indian Museum in Kolkata has a fantastic collection of "heads" in their mammal display. Most people miss it, because it is mounted above the doors, at least 10 feet high. The space from that 10 foot level to the ceiling level (maybe 30 foot ceiling?) is full of magnificent heads, all hunted by some Brit or the other, including some Governor Generals! Sadly (like everything else in this country) many of them are in a sad state of disrepair. The museum's budget being hardly enough to pay salaries and power bills!
