Tiger does the old disappearing and re-appearing trick

An elephant-riding wildlife guide gets the scare of his life when a tiger educates him in the fine arts of stealth and leaping right at you...

KEYWORDS: attack; mrclaudeballs; stealth; tiger
I think I've mentioned my fascination and love for big cats before on these boards, and tigers are the best of the best for me. That such a large and powerful creature could be so stealthy awes me. That such a large and powerful creature could leap like that doesn't awe me, but it does make me very, very, glad I don't live near Kaziranga National Park.

No gore or killing in this one, btw. Guide gets bit, but everyone lives to see another day (including the tiger).

If you like SF, maybe you’d like the Man-Kzin Wars books.

When I saw the headline I figured it was another golf story

It’s very interesting that the tiger seems to have no interest in the elephant, and attacks the human controlling the elephant.

The elephant is too big for a single tiger to kill, but the elephant could sure kill that tiger if he wanted to. I bet that’s why the tiger didn’t come back for a second attempt.

Ha, I thought this was going to be about Tiger Woods. He actually had a good round yesterday.

I don’t see the “disappearing” part in the vid.

Tiger hiding in tall grass appears (aka attacks!), ok, but “disappearing and re-appearing”?

The clip is from a much longer vid where they show a tiger disappearing into the brush. I just kept the title on this one because the Admins can be kind of sticky about changing titles.

Yeah, it’s got some hang time, all right.

For some reason, I find it even scarier in slo-mo. If the 0:28 mark of the vid doesn’t shout “oh dear, this isn’t going to end well”, I don’t know what does, LOL.
