Occupational hazard

This guy was spooked from the start. Elephants were acting up I guess.
New driver wanted. Good conditions. Immediate start for right man.

Yeah, like that twig is gonna keep him safe.

I find it amazing how well the tiger sneaks up. WOW!

In fact Noppid the whole bloody thing amazes me. The tiger attacking at all seems unreal.
Tourists go out to tiger country on these elephant rides all the time, but if that could happen, I think public liability insurance could get out of reach.
It sure seems a big call for a tiger to want to grab his lunch of the back of an elephant anyway. Amazing video clip. But seeing is believing.

It's surreal. I was wathing knowing what was coming and couldn't see it until it stood up. Very sneaky!
