2 Wild Tigers -- Rare as Hen's teeth

This is a very rare sight -- two wild tigers in the same photograph.
This was taken at the Ranthambhore National Park in India. We were fortunate enough to see 3 tigers travelling together.
Unfortunately they didn't all pose close enough to get all three into one picture.

While were were in India, the papers reported the latest tiger census. Sad news is that by some counts there are as few as 1400 left in the wild.
