Arrowhead is dying. She was found with a cancerous tumor and was even presumed dead the previous year, her apparent disappearance blamed on nearby villagers - though in the end she turned out to still be alive and breathing.
This is her on her last leg: as thin as ever yet still finding the strength to attack crocodiles, a rare prey amongst tigers. She takes after the iconic females of her bloodline and I will surely miss her when she goes with them, the old Ladies of the Lakes.
