PANGOLIN AND TIGER


Pangolin is the rarest animal one can come across in the central indian jungle, and here I saw this Pangolin all rolled up like a soccer ball and being rolled around by two sub-adult Tigers who were just too curious about it. They tried biting did not succeed they tried to use claws still no use, one of the tigers got tired and left it alone the second Tiger still continued to try killing it, after some time even this tiger left the pangolin alone this is when it took its head out and started to escape, the tiger saw this and pounced on the pangolin and it again rolled up like a ball.The tiger did not manage to kill this pangolin till I was there. This was my luckiest day out in the bush so far, a once in a lifetime sight may be.
