Very Beautiful And Rear Sighting Matkasur &Sloth Bear fight 28 Feb 2018 Tadoba
Video By:-Anesh An Tadoba
My take...
This is a predation attempt by Matkasur, he easily dominates the bear and obtains a crucial bite but the Bear is tenacious and fights off every attempt with great dexterity, much like a cat, the bear is able to bring it's hind claws up to the Tigers face and rake which as we have seen is a very effective defense. Matkasur makes sure to get in bites around the neck/skull which I think will pay dividends in the long run, you can see as Matkasur tires, he begins to retreat but continues to stalk the bear, the bear tries to push Matkasur away but it seems as though Matkasur is going to follow this bear and assess the damage once the Bears adrenaline wears off. If I were to wager, I'd guess Matkasur would attempt another attack at night once he regains his strength and the bears injuries begin to wear heavy.
