Siberian Tiger vs African Elephant- Who will win the battle?
As we all expect answer to this question is not that simple. It could be anyone’s game. But here we have listed few conditions that are favourable for one to win.
Conditions that help Tiger win:
- Elephant should have no idea about the presence of Tiger in the surroundings before the attack. Hence the tiger should completely dissolve in the surroundings.
- Tiger should hold the Elephants neck at the center such that closing Tiger’s jaw blocks air into the Elephant’s lungs.
- Tiger should hold the neck tight until the Elephant gives up. No matter how strongly Elephant or its companions defend or counter attack.
If any one of the above conditions fail, then the chances of Tiger having its lunch go terribly wrong. It can even cost the life of Tiger.
How ever a Tiger never takes this risk until it feels that its compulsory. Hence there are very few chances for such fight to happen. It happens only when a Tiger is extremely hungry and there is only elephant in front of it and nothing else.
