The video has since then gotten viral and people who have watched the video have marvelled at the intensity and the sheer brutality with which the Tigers have been fighting with each other. People also expressed concern for the quarrelling tigers.
Tiger fight video resurfaces; netizens shocked after watching it
Sudha Ramen, the forest service office who shared the video on her Twitter handle, explained that tigers usually fight in this manner when they assert dominance over the land. The fight can also be done as a way to attract a tigress, the officer continued. In the tweet, Sudha Ramen also wrote that once a tiger wins, the territory is declared his own and the tiger that loses is forced to go into exile and search for a new territory or a new home where it can live the rest of its days. People commented on the video and were thrilled to know this fact about the behaviour of the tigers. They thanked the forest officer for sharing the video and the information with them. People were thrilled to watch the two tigers wrestle fiercely with each other. The growls and the scratches that the two tigers inflict upon each other were brutal and hence netizens found it disturbing as well.
Ever seen tigers fighting, it is no less than wrestling. The dominance will be established only through such fights. The winner wins the territory and if lucky the Tigress too. The loser has to move out and wander to find a new home.
