Photo by: Melisa Lee ( Malaysia ) / Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2012
Where photo was taken: Tiger Temple, a Buddhist monastery at Kanchanaburi in Thailand .
What is happening: Why is a tiger walking with the masses? Apparently, Hernfa walks daily with the Abbot and humans at the monastery. This was a rare day when two young cubs (see Phayu chewing on dad's tail?) came along. They walk alongside humans as if they're just part of the crowd. Tourists wait their turn to be photographed petting the big, tame tiger.
How the photographer got the shot: Lee had three minutes to keep pace with the tigers, keeping a low angle while walking backwards.
