Tiger Tops Nepal
"For more than 20 years I have been studying tigers at Royal Chitwan National Park in Nepal. Recently I purchased one of your Trail Master TM 1500 units and the camera, in order to take identification photos of tigers. The second night I pu t it out by a road and got an excellent photo of a tigress. Then I decided to put it up by a trail that runs along the crest of a ridge. I set it up about two yards off the path. At 0902 one morning a male tiger walked through the beam and activated the u nit. The almost inaudible ‘click’made by the camera got his attention. He attacked, knocking over the tripod. Seizing the camera in his mouth he carried it 80 yards down the trail before dropping it. One of the tiger’s canines penetrated the body of the camera, leaving a sizable hole just at the spot where the film winds on. I dismissed the possibility that the photo would come out, but against all odds, it did. I enclose a copy. Amazingly, the camera still works. . ."
