Legendary Tiger Chewing on a Sloth Bear

Wagdoh, a very well known tiger who started an entire tiger dynasty, and ruled a tiger war zone in Tadoba, is seen here casually gnawing on a pesky sloth bear. The bear was likely taken by surprise as is the tigers nature. Otherwise its likely Wagdoh would’ve f***ed off if he had took a chance at the bear head on, since sloth bears are royal pains in the ass to deal with in a full confrontation. Regardless our boy Wagdoh had bear for dinner.
