Don't worry, the tortoise was not hurt!

Your visit and comment means a lot, thanks for stopping by :)
Poor thing! That must have been a frightening experience for the tortoise having a tiger inspect her.

@Craig: Thanks Graig :)
It's a wonderful unusual image. But that turtle has to be terrified!

@Michael Skorulski: Maybe he does not know it's a tiger :) - Sure they won't put it in the same surroundings if there was any danger to it? (i hope?)
When humans don't interfere it's amazing how animals are kind to each other ;)

I'm sure he only wants to play... :-)

A very inquisitive Tiger and such a great shot Ina.
