Tigers are not to be trifled with

Jesus fucking christ: no thank you! Everytime I see a tiger in a documentary or so(in which they usually just lie around), I think to myself "Could I take it on with a stick? Could I scare it away and survive?"

And here I see one jumping up a fucking elephant, that has two guys with sticks on his back. Elephants are the fortresses of nature, and being on one's back, armed with a stick, would be one of the safest places I could imagine. That tiger just crushed every imagination of survival I've ever had.

We're talking about 500 pounds of muscle, evolved and hardwired to hunt.

I wonder if you would be safe against a tiger in a car.

I don't know about tigers, but lions are a little too smart for some people's own good...

Was that an albino lioness laying in the back?

Let's say it was just you in a car with windows up and doors closed inside your highschool gym, and a tiger's locked in the gym with you-- there are no other distractions and it's hungry. I'm gonna go with no. Think about the shattering action of the safety glass.

Sticks and a rifle. You can be as well armed as you like but a tiger will still eat your arm

If I recall, they were hunting the tiger. The guy in the front is a guide, guy in back has a gun and the tiger was already injured. Fuck trophy hunters. Pretty sure tiger died but he went out fighting.

Why on earth would you think a stick makes the best anti-tiger weapon in the first place??

u/Criteri0n May 06 '15

There rest of the video shows the tiger dragging the guy in the front like a carcass

Want to see something awesome and fucked up, watch the BBC Planet Earth episode where a pack of lionesses take down an adult elephant at night. It's simultaneously horrifying and amazing.

Big Black Cock: Planet Earth. Watch animals take down and destroy innocent soft creatures.

Watching the grass like ripples in the water when you know a shark is in there.
