Tiger fight
Oct 9, 2019 01:03:28 #
Having photographed wild animals many times in Africa, I was looking forward to photographing the Asiatic Bengal Tigers in the wild and comparing them to the African big cats..... lions, leopards etc. With a few notable exceptions, most African cats are more or less pack hunters, they employ teamwork to single out a victim then run it down. Tigers are quite different.....they are essentially hide and ambush hunters.
They generally live a solitary life and will often fight ferociously should their paths cross. I was astonished to observe just how ferocious they are. I recently encountered this pair as they met in deep bushes in the very early light.

The Indian lions are pack hunters just like the African!

Interesting image. The behavior varies by species. As far as I know African and Asian Lions are similar but differ in size. Most Cats, large or small are solitary hunters. Lions hunt in groups, called prides. Similar to the way Wolves and Dogs hunt in packs. All these comments from both of us are generalities. Cheetah have a few odd adaptations for their high running speed. Their legs and feet differ from other Cats similarly to the way Greyhounds and Whippets run fast and differ from other Dogs. Cheetahs are strange for a Cat in having non-retractile claws like they are on Dogs.
