Indian Forest Service employees have shared footage suggesting that lions and tigers do not always own the right of way in their respective domains.
Ramesh Pandey’s footage shows a napping tiger smartly dashing off to allow a large elephant to pass on a forest trail.
“Lord of the jungle versus King of the forest. Here the titans avoid a clash and give space to each other,” Pandey described in his X post.
That drew a response from Susanta Nanda, who posted footage showing two male lions waking and exiting a trail to allow two rhinos to pass. (Both clips are featured below.)
Neither the Tiger,
Nor the lions are king of the jungle…
It’s all situation specific. https://t.co/hsOsONY1PS pic.twitter.com/0ocoQuvil2— Susanta Nanda (@susantananda3) September 6, 2023
Nanda: “Neither the Tiger, nor the lions are king of the jungle… It’s all situation specific.”
Both men routinely feature wild animal behavior in their posts.
