Footage shows that lions, tigers aren’t always kings of beasts
Indian Forest Service employees have shared footage suggesting that lions and tigers do not always own the right of way in their respective domains.
Ramesh Pandey’s footage shows a napping tiger smartly dashing off to allow a large elephant to pass on a forest trail.
“Lord of the jungle versus King of the forest. Here the titans avoid a clash and give space to each other,” Pandey described in his X post.
That drew a response from Susanta Nanda, who posted footage showing two male lions waking and exiting a trail to allow two rhinos to pass. (Both clips are featured below.)
Neither the Tiger,
Nor the lions are king of the jungle…
It’s all situation specific. https://t.co/hsOsONY1PS pic.twitter.com/0ocoQuvil2— Susanta Nanda (@susantananda3) September 6, 2023
Nanda: “Neither the Tiger, nor the lions are king of the jungle… It’s all situation specific.”
Both men routinely feature wild animal behavior in their posts.
