Instead of attacking the snake crossing the road, the tiger merely circled its opponent before walking away, surprising onlookers.
Tigers are a species of mammal belonging to the Felidae family. They are the largest animals in the Felidae family and the third largest among carnivorous species (after polar bears and brown bears).
Each tiger has a unique pattern of stripes, similar to a human fingerprint. These stripes help them camouflage effectively in grasslands and low bushes.
In the wild, tigers are apex predators. With their massive bodies, fierce aggression, strength, courage, persistence, and considerable speed, tigers are often referred to as the “lords of the jungle” and have few natural enemies.
Tigers are very intelligent and always know how to avoid unnecessary confrontations.
Tigers hunt using a stalking and ambush technique, overpowering their prey from various angles, typically through surprise attacks aimed at biting the neck to break the spine or trachea of the prey. As excellent swimmers, tigers can kill their prey even while it is swimming.
Despite their strength, tigers are not “brave but foolish”; on the contrary, they are very intelligent and always know how to avoid unnecessary confrontations. When encountering a snake in Kabini, Evolve Back, India, the tiger made such a decision.
Instead of attacking the snake crossing the road, the tiger merely circled around its opponent for a moment and then walked away, knowing that this was not a prey it could easily defeat. In fact, if it were careless, the tiger could even lose its life to the snake’s constricting grip.
