Not sure exactly what this female bengal tiger had her eye on when she was licking her chops. Probably just swatting a fly from her nose. Whatever it was, it was nice of her to sit still for a few portrait shots. Bandhavgarh National Park in Central India. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/200th of a second
Many thanks Ms. Sean Crane. This is a wonderful shot, it looks the tiger was just waiting to be photographed by Sean Crane. I am from
India and I have gone to several big tiger reserves except Bandhavgarh and Ranathambore but the tigers were avoiding me. At Kanha tiger reserve I saw the male full grown tiger. The tiger walked within three feet of our jeep, it was scary and exciting but no such tiger licking pics. You are most fortunate.

looks like he is licking his chops for dinner, or ready to pounce on the thing that moves.
