Much Improved, Dramatic Video gif of Great Tiger Attack
Google Plus ^ | August 4, 2014 | Staff

Posted on 08/06/2014 12:21:58 PM PDT by lbryce

Yesterday, I posted a YouTube video that had spawned the gif of the tiger attack you see below. For some reason the video was terribly disappointing and I felt that way, too. But had thought the video would be superior to a simple gif. Today, reading a commenter's disappointment totally agreed with him as I've expressed here below. Hopefully you'll all enjoy the gif and never bother to seethe video it originated from.

I wouldn't, couldn't disagree with you. I first saw the famed tiger attack as a gif (here below much more dramatic than the video could ever be)and reading that it was first posted as a video, went with he video, thinking it would be a much better post. But I was very wrong. The gif is infinitely more dramatic and hope I've made up for it.

Here's the original post from yesterday and you can see for yourself the tiger attack that is so dramatically displayed in the gif yet is practically non-existent in the video.

Kitty is left-handed.

Now, that is an amazingly astute observation. Being as intense as any lefty could be, I’m always making note of which hand people use as they usually tend to have many other similarities as well. But to notice a tiger’s left-handedness?
You must be left-handed.

Yes, a south paw.
The narrator says six rifle shots were fired into the air and they never found this cat again. I’m guessing no one wanted to look too hard to find it given that it is not afraid to attack a man on an elephant and can jump as well as it does in the video.

The elephink is not used to being a victim, I see.

Looks like he jumped airborne one terrestrial bound too soon. Given one more terrain crossing bound, I think he could have gained leathel proximity.

I read a book based on a similar incident. It was called The Tiger's Revenge by Claude Bawls.

I’m a lefty also.
My dog is a Southpaw. When she walks up the stairs slowly she leads with her left paw.

The elephant was probably in high-speed reverse.
