A video of two tigers embroiled in a "brutal and violent" fight has been creating buzz on social media. Shared by Indian Forest Services (IFS) officer Praveen Kumar on Twitter the viral video shows tigers T57 and T58 of Rajasthan's Ranthambore National Park involved in a furious fight. The clip of the "two brothers" fighting is fascinating as well as scary.
In the 1-minute clip, one of the tigers is seen walking slowly towards the other and within micro seconds pounce on other. A third tiger is also seen in the clip, which runs away to another direction. The clip shows both the tigers fighting and their menacing roars being heard loudly.
“That is how a fight between #tigers looks like. Brutal and violent. They are territorial animals and protect their sphere. Here two brothers from Ranthambore are fighting as forwarded. (T57, T58),” IFS officer Praveen Kaswan captioned the video.
As they fight, onlookers watch them and click pictures of the fight as camera shutters can be heard in the video.
The T57 tiger is named Singhsth, while T58 is named Rocky and are sons of tigress Sharmili from the Jaisinghpura area of the park, a report by NDTV stated, according to Ranthambore Guides.
