but why were the tigers taken into african plains? easier to catch a kill on camera?

[foxvscnn]

They were zoo tigers being trained by a profession to relearn their hunter instincts.

Introducing these Tigers in Africa may mess up the eco life. Not only do they kill wild beasts and antelope....they would also kill lions and hyenas because of the competion. Plus its hunting ground is a jungle like those in India. not these open savannah, as stealth is one of Tiger's biggest weapon.

This is amazing, how they adapt to the african plains, not only that but when hunting and in their full primitive mode, they are still able to recognise that the camera man is not food! Lol... the wonders of scientific manipulation (operant conditioning) to get the animals to use only certain primative functions with certain stimuli!!

@DorxII U r saying abt a pack and pride u know one thing? if nomadic males fight with male lions wer do all those pride go? the pride females and adoloscent cubs wil know wat wil happen if they interfere a serious fight.Let me say one simple line,scientific truth finally...Tigers r aggressive,ferocious than lions and they r the largest of all the cats!

@DorxII much much smaller? elephant is a herbivore and it's food for carnivores! Since Tiger fears for nothing,it'll take on elephants too,if situation arises! watch the Tiger vs Bull Elephant, Bull elephant is scared of tiger and runs!! video by evilstripedtiger...the tiger's name was Charger and most wildlife photographers know abt it and there's no lie regarding to that fact.

@YokeshRulz

I'd like to see that video .. a mature male elepahnt wouldnt run away from an animal much much smaller than him

besides for all of you who says they would kill lion, settle down .. lions are not a prey animal and they wouldnt be able to take on a pack that's 1 2 even if they would corner a male lion they wouldn't risk injury just to kill off competition.

Actually those 2 captive bred tigers r brother and sister and even in wild the Tigers used to b with family for 2 years and then they wil leave the family.Tiger is a solitary hunter and for it's strength and courage it doesn't need a pack or pride to bring down any wild beast and i hav seen a male elephant running on seeing the single dominant male tiger on this youtube.

This isn't the incident of multiple tigers taking down one prey.. they do hunt in packs if they want to cath bigger preys like elephants.. it is however the first time I see multiple tigers take down a smaller animal togetter...

@fun4ever000 they fenced off a 150 acre area for the tigers to learn there skills and said that one day thye wanted it to be a 9000 acre tiger haven so im guessing they would be the only preaters there

[butterflyfantasy92]

I know this is nature but sometimes it upsets me when I see them killing an animal lol
