‘Rarest Of The Rare’ Wildlife Encounter: Bear Confronts Tigress In Spine-Chilling Video

Our ancestors, our origins and our cures are found in nature. We pray for wisdom, experience and understanding to find important life lessons. However, humans have regrettably distanced themselves from the eternal source of life lessons–the animal kingdom. Everyone who loves animals understands that there is so much more to this world’s many diverse and wonderful species. Animals can teach us a great deal of valuable lessons. Such as the “rarest of the rare” spectacles from the animal kingdom which was shared by a former IAS official.

On April 30, Dr. Rajiv Kumar Gupta posted the video on X (formerly Twitter) stating that it was recorded in the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve in Uttar Pradesh. The video opens with the tigress ambling along a woodland road, observed from a distance by safari vehicle tourists. The bear suddenly appears and crosses in front of the tigress. The tigress pauses and settles down in response, watching the bear closely as it moves.

The tigress keeps strolling, perhaps keeping an eye out for the bear after it crosses the street and goes to the opposite side.

The bear suddenly attacks the tigress in an unusual display of hostility, sparking a short confrontation between the two. The tigress exhibits amazing poise and calmness in the face of the unexpected encounter.

The tigress watches the bear as it departs after this.

The post’s caption details the “rarest of rare sight of a bear charging towards a tigress,” which was witnessed at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve, a CATS (Conservation Assured Tiger Standards) habitat created by the UP Forest Department.

The caption also suggests that one should not overlook the “calm and composure” exhibited by the big cat, even while it is under attack or when the bear is feeling threatened or afraid due to its perceived inferiority.

The post’s description states, “Nature has many lessons to teach humans.”

The post has almost 3,000 views on the social media platform.

Previously, a tiger was observed chasing a sloth bear in the same tiger reserve. A thrilling video captures the moment when the tiger follows the sloth bear as it sprints for its life, as visitors fearfully watch from the safety of their safari van.

The video, which was shot by nature photographer Siddharth Singh, was later uploaded on X (formerly Twitter) by IFS officer Ramesh Pandey.
