Bengal Tiger – A Refreshing, Cooling Embrace

Bengal Tiger

A Refreshing, Cooling Embrace

The sun bore down on planet Earth and the torrid heat became oppressive in the Indian jungle. Creatures both large and small sought relief from the scorching midday temperature in a variety of ways. Some joined shade and became quiescent. Others visited waterholes and soaked in a refreshing, cooling embrace. Here, a Bengal Tiger lowered the temperature of its body core by immersing itself in a small, jungle pool.
