A fierce battle took place between a large male tiger and a sloth bear. The fight started when the tiger became aggressive and attacked the bear first. It was a female sloth bear with her cub. The tiger appeared to be soaking in a puddle when the mother bear and cub appeared.

The male tiger considered this cool water puddle his territory, so he tried to chase away the sloth bear’s mother and cub. It rushed to attack, making it impossible for the mother sloth bear to easily forgive it.

The tiger initially had a great advantage but could not subdue the sloth bear. The tiger seemed to have difficulty because of the sloth bear’s thick fur, the tiger’s strength advantage quickly dissipated after just a few minutes of fighting.

The sloth bear was tired and it was unable to cut off the tiger’s tail. What saved the sloth bear’s life was the thick layer of fur that covered its entire body, preventing the tiger from catching its prey.

After a few minutes, the sloth bear even gained the upper hand in the fight, chasing back the tiger. Finally, the tiger was forced to flee the area, giving the cool water puddle to the Sloth bear mother and child.
