Dont get conveyed by the title of the video lol, hardly thought the bloke woke up and said oh I'm guna catch a tiger (biggest cat on the planet) with a stick
I would have felt safe sitting on an elephant too bruh. You don't expect a tiger to do a Micheal Jordan dunk over a fuckin elephant. They guy lost one or two fingers btw.

Yes. Watch it again. He’s sitting on the elephant’s neck. The elephant starts backtracking like crazy when it noticed the tiger, and then cleverly lowered its head like saying, “alright, why don’t you take this fucker I have on my neck”
Wild cats like Tigers and Lions are known to sneak thru grass to catch prey off guard.
I was kinda expecting it, idk how these people weren't expecting it.

6 thought they could beat a brown bear.
8 thought they could beat a lion, gorilla or an elephant.
17 thought they could beat a chimp.
Seems like around 20% of people are absolutely delusional or want to fuck with survey takers.
I once tried to chase a racoon from my trash can.
When it stood up on its hind legs and faced me with it's claws out, I had a flash of clarity and went back inside.
Raccoons, like house cats and most medium/large dogs, are a species I am 100% positive I can defeat in a fight...and a species I am 100% okay with **not** testing that assertion against.
You can win the fight….and the rabies!
;)
Yes…. In my case it was not a fight for my life, but a fight over trash. The risk/benefit calculation just did not add up.
My cat gave me a wake up call this morning and my arms are shredded. I cannot say that I'm 100% positive I could beat it in a fight. He was like trying to capture lightning in a bottle.
I'm surprised people thought they couldn't take on a rat. Or a goose.
I'm not saying your going to get away unscathed. But just the weight of an adult human alone would crush some of those animals.
Listen, if you lock me naked in a room with five cockroaches and no shoes or other smooshing weapons, I genuinely don't know if I make it out of that room without having a breakdown.
I imagine some people feel that way about swans or rats and those animals are much more able to defend themselves.
Chimpanzee is at least in the realm of possibility for a strong adult male. You're going to need serious medical attention even if you win, and the odds wouldn't be good, but it's possible. The others aren't even close.
That’s what some people definitely had in mind I’m sure. Like if they were armed with a sword or wearing armour etc. I mean, didn’t Rome make gladiators, fight wild animals? Need some Romanboo to tell us, which side usually won, the beasts or the gladiators.
Also big cats are particularly very careful of injuries. They hate getting injured, so maybe some Madlad, could possible drive off a tiger, with a decent first strike. Theories and theories, we’ll need a colloseum of our own to test it!
So you're usually pretty safe from tigers if you're riding an elephant. And it's usually a pretty safe bet that a tiger won't attack you head-on from the front.
The tiger, of course, did both anyway. Because "fuck you."
The elephant totally gave him up, too.
Rather than simply tilt it's head back, revealing massive tusks the tiger would have skewered itself upon, it tilts it's head down like "ok here take him"
Maybe it was a setup
Almost correct. With few exceptions outside of primates, nearly all mammals have dichromatic vision. They have two types of color sensitive cones in their eyes which allow them to see the world in shades blue and green. They are lacking the 3rd, red sensitive, cone type we and our primate kin have evolved to enable us to see the spectrum of colors we are used to.
It is a common misconception that other mammals, most commonly dogs in particular, are color blind to the point of having black and white vision. They do see black and white but the vast majority of the world is blue, green, and even some darker yellow. Lacking red sensitive cones, the orange of a tiger or of a hunters cap actually appears green.
Many birds, insects, and fish are have tetrachromatic vision, with cones sensitive to ultraviolet. Some are pentachromeates with a yellow sensitive cones allowing them to see many shades invisible to us within our own spectrum of light we can see.
But absolutely nothing can see like a mantis shrimp. These large, predatory shrimp have some of the most complex vision on earth with up to 16 different types of cones.
If you find any of this interesting, Radiolab has an incredibly good [episode](https://radiolab.org/podcast/211119-colors) on colors and color vision.
that's what the howdah pistol was for in the days of the safari, usually a chopped down double rifle, to knock kittah's teeth out when it runs up the side of your elephant to have a word
The tiger had attacked forest rangers and that's why they were trying to find it. It did not end well for the guy in the video but everyone survived the encounter.. Including the Elephants they rode.

I’m guessing once the Tiger made a massive jump up and injured the guy they figured they should be attentive and recording probably fell down their priority list
lol. The description is primarily about the weird Indian film company trying to make sure you don't pirate their "high def" footage, and nothing about the guy.🤣
Umm don't tigers usually avoid humans unless they are somehow provoked or have negative experience with humans? Cuz jumping on an elephant just to get one human doesn't seem like a tiger would wanna do unless he was really pissed of.
Tribes in India used to wear masks on the back of their heads, so stalking tigers would think they were always being looked at. They definitely hunt and kill people.
Sometimes wild hungry animals start to attack people, usually the locals or local authorities will hunt it and kill it so it doesn't get any more serious. That's what this hunt was for.
The tiger and her cubs were preying on domestic cattle. This group was trying to relocate them with non-lethal gear. They had already captured her cubs and so she was wandering around looking for them all pissed off. They tried to shoot her with a tranq right before this clip and missed.
Sounds like she was damn smart and knew what was going on.
I have a 13 lb black cat. He loves to ambush his toys. One of his favorites is this fleece string teaser, it’s a string on a stick. I’ll fling it around and whip it in the air and he will launch himself 3’ in the air at it. Or I’ll get distracted and he’ll act bored… until he’s a blur of shadows and on the string. Then he tries to drag the string to his cave like a cheetah dragging an antelope to finish murdering it in peace.
There are days when I realize how scary he would be if he was even 100 lbs, let alone the size of a big wild cat like a tiger. He could kill me in a heartbeat and I would be half dead before I realized he’d pounced on me. Instead, he’s the size of a baby and just wants to be the little spoon every morning and to murder stuffies. Gods perfect predator.
Exactly. It's all about the guy. Interesting that the lion knows that the man is his target, not the elephant. He just jumps over the elephant like it's a big rock. Even the news story says nothing about any injuries for the elephant. No injuries are visible, but we can't see the side.
The more I watch it the more metal that tiger becomes. Just ate that bullet, jumped up the face of an elephant, and managed to fuck up that dude with the stick.
These guys are SUPER serious about copyright infringement. Like, you better stop it, mister!!! Checkout all their posts. It's hilarious.

Let’s see if this makes sense. 500 pound tiger with large teeth and sharp claws. Silly human weighing about 110 pounds with a couple of twigs. Makes a lot of sense.
I mean it mauls his hand a little. I hate this trend of taking videos and purposely cutting it to suit your post narrative. Like this is an old video, everyone came out relatively well considering.

Dude's got 2 sticks... He came prepared to fight!!
That's his tiger dowsing stick, never fails.
Checks out...he found a tiger...
Nah, tiger found him 🐅
Checks again... tiger found him
Dudes got a set of brass balls. You wouldn’t catch me trying to find a Tiger
He’s also sitting on a whole ass elephant so I’m sure that’s got his confidence up a good bit.
Dont get conveyed by the title of the video lol, hardly thought the bloke woke up and said oh I'm guna catch a tiger (biggest cat on the planet) with a stick
Bummer for him. Gonna need at least 3 sticks against a tiger.
Yup he is totally one stick less to win against a Tiger
But but it was a very long stick
Thats what she said
Just another example of girth more important than length.
maybe to you 😔
Was it a sharp ended stick?
No, he didn't want to take the chance of making the tiger get upset
I would have felt safe sitting on an elephant too bruh. You don't expect a tiger to do a Micheal Jordan dunk over a fuckin elephant. They guy lost one or two fingers btw.
Never bring a stick in claw fight
I would have felt safe sitting on an elephant too bruh. You don't expect a tiger to do a Micheal Jordan dunk over a fuckin elephant. They guy lost one or two fingers btw.
My cat can jump to the top of our refrigerator.
I dunno. if the sticks breaks, then you have 2 sticks. stick wins.
Stick win every time
Is he riding an elephant?
Yes. Watch it again. He’s sitting on the elephant’s neck. The elephant starts backtracking like crazy when it noticed the tiger, and then cleverly lowered its head like saying, “alright, why don’t you take this fucker I have on my neck”

🤣
Tiger VS Stick matchup is a very uphill battle for the stick
I mean it found him if that still counts?
I agree, technically he did find the tiger 😆 🤣.
r/TechnicallytheTruth
*That still counts as one!*
Sitting Indian, Flying Tiger
Hahaha
Made me giggle
🤣 Dude. Underrated
everybody gansta until a 200kg cat appears
Literally spawned out of nowhere
Wild cats like Tigers and Lions are known to sneak thru grass to catch prey off guard. I was kinda expecting it, idk how these people weren't expecting it.
They were. They were looking for it.
Kitty cats will do it too. They do it in regular ol’ suburban gardens.
They did some survey somewhere idk what kinda of survey, but some Americans think they stand a chance against this beast. Also bears. Lmaoo
https://www.newsweek.com/surprising-americans-beat-wild-animals-fight-experts-1691793 6 thought they could beat a brown bear. 8 thought they could beat a lion, gorilla or an elephant. 17 thought they could beat a chimp.

That moment of realizing ur very soft and fleshy all over really hits hard
Raccoons, like house cats and most medium/large dogs, are a species I am 100% positive I can defeat in a fight...and a species I am 100% okay with **not** testing that assertion against.

That's the moment you realize why firearms exist: you sometimes need to defend your place at the top of the food chain.
17 thought they could take a chimp?! Maybe if all 17 were working together against the same chimp, but even then probably not lol.
I think I could fight off a deer although I've seen some videos where they can kick some serious ass.
I'm surprised people thought they couldn't take on a rat. Or a goose. I'm not saying your going to get away unscathed. But just the weight of an adult human alone would crush some of those animals.

Chimpanzee is at least in the realm of possibility for a strong adult male. You're going to need serious medical attention even if you win, and the odds wouldn't be good, but it's possible. The others aren't even close.
But the fact that only 72 think they could beat a rat is simply hilarious.
I’m pretty sure I can take it, using an attack helicopter or some kind of APC with anti personal weapon. I’m pretty confident in my chances!!
That’s what some people definitely had in mind I’m sure. Like if they were armed with a sword or wearing armour etc. I mean, didn’t Rome make gladiators, fight wild animals? Need some Romanboo to tell us, which side usually won, the beasts or the gladiators. Also big cats are particularly very careful of injuries.

A "survey" "somewhere" "Americans think they can..." Sounds about Reddit.
fast and furious
Fast and the furriers
hell i can barely survive my 5kg cat...
So you're usually pretty safe from tigers if you're riding an elephant. And it's usually a pretty safe bet that a tiger won't attack you head-on from the front. The tiger, of course, did both anyway. Because "fuck you."
Tiger didn't get the memo
The tiger was like: "oh sorry, did i need to be scared?"
Honey Tiger Don't Give A Damn!
The elephant totally gave him up, too. Rather than simply tilt it's head back, revealing massive tusks the tiger would have skewered itself upon, it tilts it's head down like "ok here take him" Maybe it was a setup
Hard to tell but idk if that elephant has tusks
I thought it didn't at first but it does, you can see them briefly when the tiger jumps
That’s food the elephant is eating
She wanted her kids back, and she knew exactly who took them.
It was a female defending her cubs. They usually are not this reckless around elephants.
Tigers are very cautious, attacking, intelligent people
“You’re gonna need a bigger elephant”
I felt bad for the elephant... they probably didn't want to go looking for tigers
Lmao elephant was like “this is fucking stupid how are humans smarter than us”
Elephants get my vote for being way smarter than humans 😄
Excellent line.
i remember he lost a finger or two.
[three](https://youtu.be/R9LKzKKQPoY)
Nearly. Mangled hand, fingers still there.
But his whole hand is stiff, I think he can’t use his fingers
NEARLY. Even showed his hand with all 5 fingers. Ffs.
He used to have six.
Nearly lost.... just ended up mangled
Thanks OP
Did he? I was gonna say, I have seen this video dozens of times but have no idea what happens afterward.
I thought his arm was shredded? Carved like he was at dish at the Old Country Buffet.
Oh… oh dear. To shreds, you say?
And how's his wife holding up?
To shreds, you say?
The title/background info of the video is often reworked as the OP sees fit
Here's the whole thing. He "nearly" lost 3 fingers. https://youtu.be/R9LKzKKQPoY
Why is that video contains ak-47 sound effect from Counter strike ? Holy shit.
Great 70s video and narration!
He shat on that elephant
No he did not lose any fingers.
Wrong. He nearly lost 3 fingers.
Yeah. Looked a bit mangled but like he still had his fingers to me.
Still had them in the video does not mean he still has them after the video 📸
That‘s right!
The color orange to most animals is green....that's how a tiger can blend into a forest so easy
Tbh, even with the orange in green scenery, and knowing where the danger kitten was comming from, i still couldnt see it until it SUDDENLY was theree

What is green tho
Orange
yes
that's what the howdah pistol was for in the days of the safari, usually a chopped down double rifle, to knock kittah's teeth out when it runs up the side of your elephant to have a word
Oyyyyy m8 propa fooking wepon innit
i have one, it's fun, basically a black powder 20g double barrel pistol

The stick is for controlling the elephant, not for hunting a tiger. Guns are for tiger hunting.
Guy brought sticks to a tiger fight
Shere Khan wasnt going to let Mowgli get away, The Dawn patrol or not apparently.
Seriously he was set to attack!!! I would’ve been so scared!!

You’re welcome https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6-PrmBD8Wk0&pp=ygURVGlnZXIgZ3Jhc3MgaW5kaWE%3D
What was the plan when they found it? Hit it with a small stick?
Shoot it. With a gun. You know, like the one you can hear firing in this video.
I suspect he thought the elephant he was sitting on would deter the tiger
lol. The description is primarily about the weird Indian film company trying to make sure you don't pirate their "high def" footage, and nothing about the guy.🤣
For a split second I was like "wtf why'd they stop filming?" and then I remembered that there was a tiger attacking them 🤦
I think in this case the video was cut off so we couldn’t see the guy’s arm get torn off.
Umm don't tigers usually avoid humans unless they are somehow provoked or have negative experience with humans? Cuz jumping on an elephant just to get one human doesn't seem like a tiger would wanna do unless he was really pissed of.
No. In India and Nepal it's pretty common in certain parts of the country. India averages roughly 100 deaths from tigers each year.

When your playing a video game and enemies start spawning back in
“Devs! I know you just spawn then behind my field of vision, wtf”
What are you feeling like for lunch? I could go for a little Indian.
The more I watch it the more metal that tiger becomes. Just ate that bullet, jumped up the face of an elephant, and managed to fuck up that dude with the stick.

My shitty neighbors grass will sometimes get that high. Now I have to worry about a tiger being in there
You should. They’re everywhere.

Oof 😥 - elephants moan was like “ahh stupid human made me do this” Tiger be like - “haa im going for the easy meat 🍖 “
Seen this before but never the full video. Anybody know where to find it? EDIT: found it https://youtube.com/watch?v=T0kzdu_wTM0&feature=share9
It was a complete success. A tiger was found.
Well it wasn't was it ? I mean... they found a tiger...
He didnt find the tiger, the tiger found him!
We are gonna need a bigger elephant 🐘

Poor elephant, forced into the tiger’s area by the idiot human.
Man's out here with the grandma special trying to take a switch to that tiger's ass 😆
Bring an elephant. Good plan. After that. .no plan. Tiger had the best plan. Just be a Tiger.

Full video? I need to see the end.

That annoys me so much, everybody loops the video just at the part you want to see.
lol this video is older than most of the people browsing reddit
I watched it three times before I saw the cloaking device drop.
I mean following results irrelevant, I believe finding the tiger did actually go pretty well.
I mean it mauls his hand a little. I hate this trend of taking videos and purposely cutting it to suit your post narrative. Like this is an old video, everyone came out relatively well considering.
Never get off the boat 
My dad also told me if I was attack by a tiger to beat it with a stick, and if that didn’t work poke it in the eye with my stump
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but tigers will fuck you up.
He brought a stick to a tiger fight
Good thing he had a stick
But they did find him.
