then shrieks and fills the air with the stink of her terror, and that is good. 
Prey should always know it is prey, and should react like prey when faced with 
the hunter. Now in her natural form, her true form, Tikki is large even for that 
breed she so perfectly resembles, Panthera tigris altaica, the largest 
tigers on earth.
