A viral video shows nature and its elements in their prime. The clip shows how the predator can also be a prey, establishing the rule of survival of the fittest. A tiger is seen entrapping a wild boar with its jaw. The boar can be seen struggling to break free from the tiger’s clutches.
While the action is going on, a crocodile enters the frame. With its back against the crocodile, the tiger is oblivious to another creature approaching it. The crocodile hurtles and opens its mouth wide open in an attempt to catch hold of the tiger.
This is when the tiger learns of the second predator. The tiger, while still holding the boar in its mouth, flips and jumps away from the crocodile. It drags its prey away from the reptile.
The video was shared by Indian Forest Service officer Surender Mehra who wrote, “Wildlife has its own survival rules. Let us not intrude.”
