| A bear attacking a tiger | |
| 1908 Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society (18): 903-903 | |
The following will, I think, interest the members of our Society: Last hot weather I shot a large male tiger in a beat. Shortly afterwards a bear (an old female) came up the same path the tiger had come and close in front of the beat. The bear did not see the dead tiger until a few yards from it. She stood up on her hind legs in astonishment apparently, and then with a roar (I think) rushed at the tiger, and began biting and clawing it furiously behind. My sister-in-law, who was sitting with me on a rock, shot the bear. I send a bad photograph of the bear biting the tiger, taken after death of course. |
