We then spent the remaining 3 hours tracking her every move and following her path through the forest in the search of B2, the male tiger we saw this morning for a mate.

Coming right up close to our jeep

Tigress

Walking towards us

Walking away

We knew this as she walked straight towards where we saw him resting this morning and marking the territory by urinating and stratching at trees apparently so he knows she is there as well!
