Great Nature shots! Never saw the Mama Tiger ‘eyes’ trick - but I’ll bet it works!
Copperhead? Yeah. There’s a REASON I live above the Mason-Dixon Line!
We have Bull Snakes that look JUST like Rattlers and every time I see one (which is every few years) I lose a year of my life, LOL!
When I was in the Army, I took a Land Navigation Course down in Louisiana. Had the ‘pleasure’ of fording a river that was full of Cottonmouths. I STILL have nightmares about that course.
*SHUDDER*
Ah, yes, fighting Nazis waist deep in Cottonmouths... a VERY important war-fighting skill! ;-)
