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.
