An incredible footage has emerged from Rajasthan’s Ranthambore National Park were an angry mother sloth bear is trying to ward off two huge tigers to protect her cubs. The sloth bear was trying to pass through bushes with two cubs on her back when a female and male tiger blocked her approach. Sensing danger, the mother instead of backing off decided to take on the big cats. The violent face-off was captured in Ranthambhore National Park and in the video, the mama bear can be seen fighting a pitched battle against the apex predators, Daily Mail reported. Also known as an alpha predator or top predator, tigers rank at the top of a food chain, with no natural predators. The bear stands on its rear leg to frighten the tigers and manages to scare away the male tiger. However, the female tigress is adamant and decides to challenge the mother sloth bear. In a deadly fight both the animals can be seen fighting each other and the adult tigress manages to pin the bear to the ground but soon she has the upper hand and is seen charging at the tigress. At the end of the video, the tigress can be seen retreating after being chased away by the sloth bear. Ranthambhore is the fortieth largest national park in northern India and was established as the Sawai Madhopur Game Sanctuary in 1955 by the Central government. Later, it was declared as Project Tiger reserves in 1973. Ranthambhore wildlife sanctuary is known for its Bengal tigers and they can be easily spotted even in the daytime. The best time for tiger sighting at the national park is from November to May. https://www.timesnownews.com/the-buzz/ar...ger/301306 Animals too have sense. The male tiger sensed it was the ferociousness of the mother and backed off while the female tiger tried to have the offspring prey though she realized later about the instincts of mother and backed of. I saw the video of cougar protecting her offspring she fended off grizzly bear. I think this is a similar incident. |
