Big cat and Bear tale

[Rishi]

With almost no rains last year at Ranthambhore, scarcity of water is posing threat to existance of varied species. This epic scene between two largest animals in RTR does portray a lot.
The sloth in search of water ended up near a waterhole where Noor and her 2 cubs made a kill and had spend a day or two here already, late in the evening while family enjoyed being in water, this nasty male sloth bear approached 2 cubs sitting, head-on with almost no sign of hesitation to fight, he did manage to scare them but got a similar response (Snarl and mild roar) from both cubs in almost charge mode, but cubs held back and he moved on further to drink water.
