An early morning safari into the heart of the Indian jungle may result in a chance encounter with a wild Bengal Tiger, ambling along the track, exhausted from a night on the prowl, before quickly diverging into the thick undergrowth. Or perhaps an eruption of Langur monkeys and Chital alarm calls signals that a predator is near and, in excited pursuit, the source of the commotion reveals the magnificent striped Cat basking in shallow water, cooling itself in the heat of the afternoon sun. Or maybe whilst scanning the tree lines for a crested Serpent Eagle or Jungle Owlet, a sudden heavy russle in the bushes draws attention to a quick glimpse of a startled Sloth Bear galloping into the dense bush. These are rare experiences for a privileged few who visit the enchanted Indian jungles and in my 6 months of working at Kipling Camp in Kanha's National Park, I was indeed lucky enough to experience these on more than one occasion.

However, nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to witness one morning in April 2008. Accompanying two of my guests into the Park, we were about to win front row seats for a powerful and deadly show.....a brutal battle between a large male Tiger and a female Sloth Bear, attempting to protect her cub. One of my guests managed to capture this rare event on camera. I have added some slow-mo for extra impact but here is the incredible footage of a truly unforgettable battle of nature..........
Nearing the end of a strangely quiet morning, we reluctantly started to head back to camp along the beautifully scenic Bishanpura track on the south west side of Kanha. Relaxing in the back of the Gypsy, I enjoyed the warmth of the morning sun whilst eagerly scanning the forests on either side for movement and misshapes that would expose one of the many tropical inhabitants to excite my guests. But all seemed still, even the birds were reluctant to sing..... as if everything but us had sensed the impending battle that was about to ensue......

As we meandered around a sharp bend, there in front of us, wandering along the track was a female Sloth Bear with a young cub, no more than 2 months old, clinging to her back. A rare sight in itself as these creatures are extremely elusive. She quickly veered off to the right and began to climb the steep grass bank and, with fixated excitement, we watched as she finally reached the top, briefly glancing back to ensure we were not a threat.

Suddenly our guide excitedly whispered "Tiger!Tiger!" whilst waving a pointed finger towards the left side of the bank. There, majestically poised was a large male Tiger intently targeted on the Bear's movements. Suddenly he leapt across the bank and challenged the Bear to a brief fight before backing away for a few moments. She was obviously injured and was on the defense rather than attack due to her young cub. The Tiger circled her, crouched and once again attacked, this time with intention to kill. And that he did. The cub started to wail loudly and what this video misses is the point at which the cub turns and looks straight at us. In desperation, it then ran towards us and tumble turned head first down the steep bank to the foot of our jeep. At just arms reach, the temptation to rescue this little cub was overwhelming but this was a wild animal, and hard though it was, this was what nature intended and we had to respect that. The cub scrambled back up the steep bank and inherently attempted to climb the nearest tree. But the Tiger was watching and quickly ran across the top of the bank and with one leaping swipe of his paw, pulled the cub to the ground and killed it instantly.

He returned to where the mother lay, picked her up and dragged her down the other side of the bank. We moved around the corner to just glimpse him dragging her across the track and down into the ravine on the other side. The picture below is my very own last captured moment before he disappeared into the undergrowth.
