ja they are, but they pick up your fear.... i was taking photos of heyenas, and everytime i bent down, they came for me, so i stand up...they then backed of....it went on like that for 10mins or so, until i backed of....you need to read the situation, or the animals state of mind....if the tail flicks, stay away!

You must have nerves of steel! Had that cat snarled at me, I would have dropped my camera and peed my pants! Absolutely amazing photo you got here!!

Too close for comfort on this one? Still a wild animal and always unpredictable.

I'm kind of laughing at some of these comments.. it's just a tiger. They don't attack unless provoked, otherwise they're really peaceful just like any other animal lol. Great shot by the way! Definitely beautiful.. ?
