The Huntress

Ghostlike, a Bengal Tiger slips through the twilight shadows, silently edging close enough to set up an ambush. Deer and antelope are unable to distinguish the colour orange so, whilst her beautiful orange and black stripes may seem striking to us, the tiger is all but invisible to her prey in the dappled light of the forest. That said, she knows that their ability to sense movement, combined with superb hearing, means she cannot afford the slightest mistake; the outcome of the hunt is finely balanced.
