After a tough struggle, the tiger finally manages to jump onto the back of the prey. It seems to use all its strength to pin the cow down and finish off its opponent.
As one of the most dangerous “beasts” in Russia and the world, the Siberian tiger is often referred to as the “Mighty Lord of the Taiga Forest.” The “deadly” weapons that the Siberian tiger possesses include sharp claws, powerful strikes, and a jaw equipped with razor-sharp teeth that deliver a terrifying bite force.
Their hunting habits instill fear in numerous smaller animals such as wild boars, deer, bear cubs, and rabbits.
Despite weighing up to 500 kg, the Siberian tiger has exceptional hunting skills, allowing it to move stealthily and position itself to locate prey. When the opportunity arises, the Siberian tiger leaps with great power, delivering a strike and a bite that causes its prey to writhe in pain.
This “beast” of the Taiga kills its prey by subduing it and crushing the spinal cord for smaller targets or focusing on delivering a fatal bite to the neck of larger prey.
Although there is an abundance of prey, the Siberian tiger selectively chooses smaller animals rather than greedily targeting difficult ones to take down, as it does not want to expend too much energy.
