Bull chases away a tiger on forest road: Watch viral video

As far as animal fight videos go, this is a stunner. A bull can be seen chasing away a tiger in a video that is now going viral.

A tiger lurking can be seen lurking by the side of a road at the start of the video. It is possibly waiting to pounce on a bull that is walking along the road.

Seconds later, instead of backing away in fear or running off in the opposite direction, the bull goes charging right at the tiger.


Scared, the apex predator beats a hasty retreat and returns to cross the road only after the bull had left the scene.

A TOI report said this was shot on a road that cuts through the Nagarhole Tiger Reserve in Karnataka. The video was shot from inside a vehicle in which people can be heard conversing in Malayalam.

The video was posted to Twitter by Indian Forest Officer (IFS) Susanta Nanda, who captioned it: Courage is found in unlikely places…Bull scares away the tiger. This is not the behaviour apex predator that we know. Pressure of human presence is perhaps having a huge role."

People on Twitter read many things into the video,

"In our weaknesses, problems, difficulties, Sickness or in depression, we should face bravely n boldly than only we can overcome all," wrote a user.

"Attack is best defence, so did the bull, and tiger retreated and let the bull go," said another.

"This isn't tiger behavior at all. Human interference is altering their behavior in an adverse way," commented yet another.
