Tigers love water. They need to drink lots of it in hot Indian forests and since they drink slowly they spend a long time getting their fill of water. One of the easier pictures to get of tigers are when they are drinking. This one is of Ranthambhore’s best known tiger - Machali 
Here are some more pictures of tigers drinking from tightly framed head to half the body to the full body in the frame.
In a place like Ranthambhore they avoid drinking from the big lakes and prefer smaller waterholes. But IMHO some of the best pictures are of them drinking from one of the big lakes, like these two pictures
Of course the cutest ‘How sweet’ pictures happen when more than one tiger is drinking. No chance of that happening with adults but mother and cubs drinking together is relatively common. I love to have more than one cat in the frame
Here is a picture of a tiger having a drink with lots of Peafowls - we call it tolerance 🙂
