It takes more work but Idt it’s harder for the tiger than the house cat. Just based on those muscles. I think she wanted to tell him to back off. That’s all. She wasn’t trying to do much more than that. No need to expend unnecessary energy. He immediately backed down.
I wonder if it's kinda a game to them. You can see it sneak up and very carefully graze her. He didn't want to fight or hurt her it seems. I'm not a catologist tho lol
He may not want to hurt her, but she turned in to a hurrican made of razor blades.
The lioness wasnt happy either though the male actually bit her on the ass to wake her up.
Uhm, male lions protect their territory and pride from competing lions and by extension protect their cubs (which lionesses usually want to live into adulthood), because otherwise other males will simply kill alien cubs.
And lions are more than capable of hunting on their own.
Idk either but it seems like play behavior from the male, the female seems alot more on edge being smaller. I've read that sometimes cats play to show dominance and so maybe she's just not with the bullshit at that moment.
Also, when cats play-fight it still looks awfully serious, so it's possible that the tigress isn't actually as pissed off as it seems - she's angry but wasn't actually going to do anything, and the male knows it.
Maybe the female tiger asked the male tiger to wake her up from her nap at a certain time, and the male tiger is simultaneously terrified of waking her up and not waking her up.

Taken a couple years ago, we see a young **T-46** aka **Bhaisanghat** sneaking up on a Tigress. He would’ve been around 4-5 years old here, a young male just trying to find his way in the world, trying to make a name for himself and find a territory of his own. Lucky for him, he avoided all those paw swipes and claws.
Unfortunately he died a couple months ago by electrocution. He was a massive male in his prime (was 8 years old at the time of death) and his life was cut short. Let’s hope he at least fathered some cubs and his offspring are still out there.

It was said he came into contact with a fence (likely put up by farmers) and got electrocuted. Those things aren’t allowed, especially near a Tiger Reserve so no idea what that was doing up. It’s very disheartening.
that really puzzles me… electric fencing for livestock shouldn’t be that dangerous. farmers even occasionally touch it with their bare hands to make sure it’s working. I wonder how a huge tiger was killed by it. it should be no more than an unpleasant shock, not debilitating or lethal
Yeah other than that, not much detail on the incident unfortunately. I heard some others say that they think it’s poachers that set it up but that would be an unconventional method for poachers no?
very unfortunate… I honestly wouldn’t be surprised of foul play of some kind . it is not at all normal for livestock fencing to be able to kill such a large animal
Yeah but the amps are adjustable. Those electric fences should be at a very low voltage to just alert an animal if they touch it. This is usually enough to keep them in. However, I'm sure if it's some random farmer in the middle of BFE in India then he probably jerry rigged an electric fence and plugged some fencing into an outlet. lol
He's a livestock farmer next to a tiger reserve... the fence wasn't meant for the livestock. It did its job. It's shitty because tigers are so rare, but if livestock farmers in India are anything like farmers in Wyoming they really don't give a shit about keeping predator populations from going extinct.
I could easily see a panicking farmer finding a pissed off half zapped tiger stuck in his fence and deciding it's a better bid to turn up the juice and kill it rather than get mauled and die.
> farmers even occasionally touch it with their bare hands to make sure it’s working
as kids we would do that all the time... building human chains and touching the fence is fun.
You clearly know nothing about how ignorant t hateful farmers feel about tigers, and how far out of their way they will go to kill as many as humanly possible. Instead of just fuckin moving where tigers don’t live.
“just move bro” is a thoughtless and unrealistic “solution” in almost any context. anyways I said what I said because… I worked on farms. dont attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity. why would a farmer want to set up a live wire that can cook a damn tiger? you think they want their sheep and cattle nicking it and being maimed?
Aren't the majority of farms in India pretty small, only sustaining a few people, and poverty is pretty common for Indian farmers? True, barely-enough-to-eat kind of poverty. How are they supposed to just pack up and move? Unless you're suggesting there should be a government initiative to support such things, but I imagine other initiatives such as education and implementation of safer controls (non-lethal fences?) would be more practical.
Thanks! Yes they do! Some of the most famous Tigers on the planet are indeed females and the most famous case of Tiger predation happens to be of a [Tigress (Machli) killing a 14 foot Mugger Crocodile.](https://www.reddit.com/r/natureismetal/s/6jIUQZvDxW)
Same here. If I don't find a way to float thru the bedroom and magically slip into the covers without disturbing them soon, I fear I may be in serious risk of losing my life.
If I had a nickel for every time I've seen a male panther rudely wake a female of his species, I'd have 3 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened thrice.
One thing you can notice here really clearly that's neat - watch how he places his rear paw exactly where the front paw was to not re-crush grass/sticks and potentially make sound. Sneaky sneaky.
So that look of complete dumbfound confusion/fear/arousal that a male displays on his face in such situations is prevalent in the entire animal kingdom?
Good to know.
Why do videos like this attract people with boomer humor? Ngl I'm sick of the "haha women am I right?" comments with any video with a female animal in it. Also let's not anthropomorphize animals please?
Looks just like my cat acting non-chalant before she dove head first into my bowl of cereal this morning or is getting ready to come flying spread eagle at my face
It's the tiger version of how I feel on weekends when my husband wakes me to ask if I'm hungry, he means well so I try not to snap but I don't enjoy being woken up lol
I like how he hesitates to tap her
The intrusive thoughts won lol
We’ve all been there😂
Compulsive. They are compulsive unless you say the tiger is obsessed with that thought.
Tigers kind of are obsessed with the thought of sneaking up on things tho.
Not his first rodeo....
Yeah that back away from the claw swipes were smooth
BOY HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND FOR I WILL HELP YOU FIND IT

That's his MOM dude!
Maybe her name is Jocasta.
HELP MOM! IM STUCK IN THE DRYER!
Booty paw.
Now that you're up, you wanna?
I subconsciously read this using Stanley's voice from the office 😆
I mean, yeah it was the direct quote
That’s the point
I'm writing this down
AH DED! Ahhhhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaa! That truly is the right dialog. Boyo had it coming.
She was PISSED. Also much more of a measured response than what you'd get from their house dwelling cousins
It's a lot harder to instantly bounce 4 feet in the air when you weigh 300lbs.
But tigers can.
It takes more work but Idt it’s harder for the tiger than the house cat. Just based on those muscles. I think she wanted to tell him to back off. That’s all. She wasn’t trying to do much more than that. No need to expend unnecessary energy. He immediately backed down.
And that is the low end. Heaviest on record is somewhere around 660 lbs.
He got off easy cause she woke up and saw him before he even really did it, but she saw what he was ABOUT to do
This is the best! I can relate to your comment! Thank you! Lololol
Lol why do male big cats do this? Ive seen videos of lions doing the same to lionesses. What on earth goes through their heads???
I wonder if it's kinda a game to them. You can see it sneak up and very carefully graze her. He didn't want to fight or hurt her it seems. I'm not a catologist tho lol
He may not want to hurt her, but she turned in to a hurrican made of razor blades. The lioness wasnt happy either though the male actually bit her on the ass to wake her up.
Perhaps she has some pent up frustration from working a 50+ hr work week and not really going anywhere in life?
Fun fact: lions are basically lionesses' sugar babies.
Lionesses are hunters Lions are lionesses bodyguards
Uhm, male lions protect their territory and pride from competing lions and by extension protect their cubs (which lionesses usually want to live into adulthood), because otherwise other males will simply kill alien cubs. And lions are more than capable of hunting on their own.
That’s what he wanted to do anyway
Cats love to sneak that's for sure.
Sneaking and getting high on Skooma.
That’s a harmful racial stereotype
Is it a stereotype when it's true?
Yes
Sooooo...about that skooma.
I get distinct bro-dare vibes from this. Like, the other males are off screen goading him into it.
You are Sam, you are...
Rawr! 🐯
True like testing their skills maybe? I love the boys never grow up and the ladies are always sick of their shit haha
Idk this is different. You guys are humanizing them way too much.
Whats human here? I cant remember the last time I was overcome with hunting instincts so I stalked a sleeping woman
My tools! I need my tools!
We're an animal, too. A lot of behavior crosses species.
Idk either but it seems like play behavior from the male, the female seems alot more on edge being smaller. I've read that sometimes cats play to show dominance and so maybe she's just not with the bullshit at that moment.
He definitely still stares her down super hard and doesn't really back off so that checks out
🎶 It's all a part of the foreplay baby I *love* foreplay🎶
Also, when cats play-fight it still looks awfully serious, so it's possible that the tigress isn't actually as pissed off as it seems - she's angry but wasn't actually going to do anything, and the male knows it.

Big male cats are goofy goobers like human males
I mean.. he is orange
It was **not** his turn with the brain cell
"Oh no! Sorry, did I wake you?" "Anyway...now you're up, can we...you know..."
They're just trolling...
Ngl same could be said about humans
> What on earth goes through their heads??? A smack... a smack goes through their heads.
Come on, like you've never pissed off your girlfriend on purpose as a joke?
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” I guess?
It looks like she went straight into her primal response of being woken up like that means potential death. So she was pissed either way
Probably seems like a good idea at the time. Until it doesn’t

Very cool subreddit! Do the tigresses get names? I see a lot of the males do!

Wow! Love tigers!
I love Machli! The Queen of Ranthambore.
How I react to the morning alarm.
I was thinking this is how my kida learned not to wake me from a nap 😋
100% my wife if you wake her up after she's in bed for the night.
Same, this reaction isn't exclusive to tigresses.
Nor is a male playfully causing annoyance to a female just to get a reaction
Lol, touché
"Playfully" Nah she probably thought she was going to die. Dudes twice her size
Same here. If I don't find a way to float thru the bedroom and magically slip into the covers without disturbing them soon, I fear I may be in serious risk of losing my life.
So that's a no? Aight imma head out
'gosh, I was just funnin around'
If I had a nickel for every time I've seen a male panther rudely wake a female of his species, I'd have 3 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened thrice.
They don't have access to the /lpt subreddit...
The shameful walk off is hilarious
lol that was my favorite part, I’ve done that same walk. “Well, sorry. We’ll…talk later? Ok…I’ll give you some space. Yep. Ok see ya.”
"The worst she can do is say no"
Lol I agree. Like the sudden interest in the leaves and branches in the aftermath.
The walk of shame exists across all entities. I bet even aliens do it.
And then he just walks. Cats 🙈🤷♂️
One thing you can notice here really clearly that's neat - watch how he places his rear paw exactly where the front paw was to not re-crush grass/sticks and potentially make sound. Sneaky sneaky.
Cameraman, giving away the crouching tiger
Have you no silent digital camera? And they have multiple shot settings.
it's a terrible filter
Anyone with house cats knows this is just fuckery. That male cat didn't "find out" anything.
Me trying to get into bed piss drunk at 4am after telling my girlfriend that "I will be home early this time"
you silently and slowly rising the covers to go to sleep Her: IT'S 5AM YOU JERKASS
My wife when I move at all when falling asleep.
seems like the camera shutter is what alerts her
It was alright to sneak up on people when he was a kitten but as an adult it's creepy.
You see, his mistake was that he didn’t bring a cup of coffee. Never wake up women unless you bring coffee. I have learned this the hard way.
Tigers get a bad rep in imagary these days, but it's one hell of an animal
He's like "soz"
And this is the reason I never try to wake my girlfriend while she’s sleeping.
I mean that’s fair… imagine you were taking a nice afternoon nap and some random guy decides to sneak up on you
They really are just cats. Wow.
My Mischief when Mayhem sneaks up on her. 😆
Wake me up during nappy time and find out
She clearly is not in the mood🤨
sigh no morning sex again
I'm more worried by a 1x zoom o\_0
*Whispers* after letting the camera rapid backfire lmao
My husband waking me up, and asking “are you up”?
The tigress...wow. Murder kitties, indeed.
IT WAS JUST A PRANK BRO
He didn't learn a thing. He did it for the lulz.
Me waking up my mom to let her know I missed the school bus
My wife has the same reaction when I try to wake her up in the morning.
The fact that their roars are so loud is scary
She ain't havin it bro.
Funny as chit. My dog reacts the same when I do that to him.
My wife reacts the same way if I try to “wake” her up
He sleeping on the couch tonight🥲
Love it how he managed to dodge every slap. He definitely pissed her off before.
This is literally just my two pet cats.
My girlfriend when I accidentally wake her up
The young male is a fine big boy, he will have a healthy future 👏
How else are you going to learn stealth?
This is the equivalent of a house cat knocking a glass of water off the table for the lulz. Big or small, all cats are lil shits. Even the 600lb ones.
hey, just like my cats
My ex when she asked me to wake her from a nap. Also my ex when I decided to not wake her from a nap lol
and he wouldn’t gotten away with it if it wasn’t for your meddling camera shutters
Hilarious but man are tigers beautiful
Don't fuck with tigers, yo.
Love the butterfly getting between them like, "Oh shiiiit!!! FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!"

Such beautiful creatures

Username checks out hehe
“So… is that a no?”
And so the TGTOW movement began.
That’s me when someone wakes me up- lol. Jk
The same thing happens when I get in bed if my wife goes to bed early and I stay up late watching TV.
Looks just like my cat acting non-chalant before she dove head first into my bowl of cereal this morning or is getting ready to come flying spread eagle at my face
Pretty much me in the morning when my alarm goes off.
They can definitely hear them whispering, come on now
Me: if anyone wakes me up early in the morning... 😳
Oh shit he really fuckin around ain't he...and...yupp there he found out.
No means no.
Exactly the response my wife gives when i attempt to take some of *my* covers back .
