This awesome ‘angry tiger’ photo was taken by Frederic Larson and featured on Corbis. It shows Odin, a six-year-old male white Bengal tiger as he cools hmself off from the heat wave by swimming underwater in his pool at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California. Odin is one of the few tigers in the world that submerges in this way, closing his nostrils and folding his ears down when he dives.
