In this video also, the tiger and female bear have been seen fighting on the road side. A tiger was seen approaching towards the bear cub on one side of the road then suddenly the mother bear appeared from the other side of the road, crossed the road and attacked the tiger to save her cub from the tiger.
The tiger also strongly confronted the bear, but not for much longer and at last backed off. Then the mother bear took her cub from the tiger and crossed the road. But, the tiger didn't give up after the defeat and seen going behind the mother and the female bear again turned back and confronted the tiger. Later, the tiger sat beside the road defeated and the bear left with her cub.
This amazing scene of a female bear, comparatively weaker than a tiger, fighting with the mighty tiger to save her cub has been seen by the few lucky people who were passing by in their vehicles. Vehicles were stopped on the both sides of the road to witness this courageous act of a mother.
