I got you buddy, here's the full story

[–]econleech 3 points4 points ago

It didn't actually show the attack.

[–]dwellercmd 14 points15 points ago

Thanks, man. Alsoooooo, whoever said he was fine obviously didn't scrutinize the various directions his fingers were going on the attacked hand.

[–]blueatlanta 6 points7 points ago

goddamn tiger came outta nowhere! nope!

[–]mamba_79 25 points26 points ago

Good to see the full story...I'm of the opinion that if a tiger attacks you at school or doing groceries, you have a right to be pissed, but guess what, you're roaming through tiger country with just a couple of sticks, you're gonna have a bad time...

[–]cptspiffy 16 points17 points ago

If you watch the video, you'll see that the tiger was way outside the clearly-marked boundaries of the wilderness preserve. This tiger was blatantly defying the law.

[–]mamba_79 6 points7 points ago

I think there are clear rule of engagement issues, as well...the human was in clear view on top of an elephant and the tiger was blatantly cheating by hiding in the tall grass...in future, both should be on elephant back to even out the playing field (now, where's /u/shitty_watercolour when you need them!)

[–]one_spelling_error 1 point2 points ago

dat tiger... damn camper!

[–]Random-Miser 2 points3 points ago

You don't understand, the tall grass is were ALL the pokemon are.

One of my all time favourite comedians. I'm an Indian raised in the West, and when people ask me what my upbringing was like, I show them this clip...

Mind blasting!! ekdamn fata fat.

[–]cwcorbin11 3 points4 points ago

Dude, that full story sucked. All i wanted to see was the end of the battle and who emerged victorious. That tiger could have been beamed up by the U.S.S. Enterprise for all we know.

[–]Grazfather 4 points5 points ago

It fucking got away!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Opened new tab on this video, didn't finish reading comment, pooped my pants.

TIL check to see if video or not.

But that was some pretty epic music

[–]uprightleftdown 1 point2 points ago

I love how I clicked to watch this and then end up spending an hour on youtube looking at animal attack videos...

[–]THE_PUN_STOPS_NOW 2 points3 points ago

Next on Fox . . . .Fast Animals. . . Slow Children!

[–]mrsplackpack 0 points1 point ago

yesss saw this on igurl and i too must know the ending. Then a thought came into head. "Yes the top comment on reddit surely will provide a link to my query". and then BAM!

[–]PhysicsIsMyBitch 25 points26 points ago

My money is on the tiger over the man with small sticks.

[–]fintorro 17 points18 points ago

I take it you've never been hit on the knuckles with a small stick? Shit hurts dude. Do tigers have knuckles?

[–]The_Iron_Dentist 7 points8 points ago

I think I'd rather not be close enough to a tiger's knuckles armed only with a stick to find out.

[–]Grazfather 3 points4 points ago

That's smart money

[–]sndzag1 2 points3 points ago

He gets his hand bit (possible finger loss). The tiger gets shot, I think. (Full vid)

I would've shoved the stick into its face/mouth, not hit it over the head.

You know, when I think it over for 5 minutes, not in the heat of the moment.

[–]AgamemnonV1 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I generally try to direct my physical attacks to the most dangerous part of the animal as well. I've punched a lot of sharks in the nose.

[–]eehreum 0 points1 point ago

he's on top of an elephant.

[–]filete 10 points11 points ago

Mr. Tiger just wants to ride the elephant too.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points ago

[–]Neptune-LordOfTheSea 6 points7 points ago

Tigers can jump very high. When you go to the zoo, you see those fences? Yeah, they can jump that high. The only thing keeping them in is the curve at the top. This doesn't always work. Have fun at the zoo with your kids this summer!

[–]r6geek 5 points6 points ago

NO KITTY THAT'S A BAD KITTY!

[–]SelectaRx 8 points9 points ago

He fixes the cable?

[–]greymatterharddrive 4 points5 points ago

the tiger just wanted his rug back, man.

[–]oberon 0 points1 point ago

It really tied the room together.

exactly what I was thinking.

[–]LifeCerialReddit 2 points3 points ago

The tiger got drafted into the NBA and now has a nike edorsement. Fun fact: He still attacks and lunges at civilians regularly.

Why is no one else alarmed that a tiger charged an elephant head one?

[–]adango 1 point2 points ago

That's how you do a stealth attack. I pity the guy on the elephant, he was bit unlucky and also a lot lucky because he survived.

[–]ofsinope 1 point2 points ago

The TL;DR: The guy's hand was injured but he was OK. They eventually got the tiger.

[–]Punchabearinnamouf 1 point2 points ago

Damn... I wish I could jump as high as an elephant.

[–]jmbrown1984 1 point2 points ago

Dummy, elephants can't jump.

[–]Punchabearinnamouf 0 points1 point ago

But have you ever seen an elephant fly?

[–]naplis 1 point2 points ago

good thing he had that stick!

[–]beowulf2700 1 point2 points ago

Risen upppp. back on the street. Took my time~ Took my chancess~

Went the distance and now im back on my feet Just a man, and his will to survivvvee~

[–]Natural_One 2 points3 points ago

Spoiler

The guy energetically shits his pants.

[–]TheDude- 4 points5 points ago

Before or after he dies?

[–]Cutlass62 2 points3 points ago

First one, then the other

[–]thexon 3 points4 points ago

Why the fuck would I browse WTF right before I go to bed. I can only imagine how fucked up my dreams will be tonight.

[–]evilbob 33 points34 points ago

Pussy.

[–]shark_eat_your_face 2 points3 points ago

For a second I thought you where being nice and trying to give him nice dreams about vaginas. Then I was like oooohh... I see, I'm a retard.

[–]ducatimechanic 0 points1 point ago

Maybe it's both, a female tiger (tigress?). There's a dream for you: You're riding your elephant, with that big trunk sticking out in front of you, and then a tigress just jumps out of the grass and attacks you trying to get "a little piece" of you.

Sweet dreams to everyone!

[–]thenexttorres 2 points3 points ago

the man dies and can no longer provide for his family who also eventually dies

[–]phantasycrisis 2 points3 points ago

Why didn't he try harder?

[–]meecropeeg 0 points1 point ago

That escalated quickly.

Tigers are a lot scarier than Winnie the Pooh has led me to believe.

[–]GenevaLambkins 0 points1 point ago

Took me about five views to realize he was on an elephant. Damn that tiger jumped high.

[–]Ombieza 0 points1 point ago

That guy lost a couple of fingers I believe...

[–]Maxion[M] 0 points1 point ago

Your submission was removed as it is not WTF material.

[–]overcatastrophe 0 points1 point ago

Fuck.

[–]asshatnowhere 0 points1 point ago

why did he throw the stick? wouldnt it be better to 'spear' the tiger?

[–]luxury_pie 2 points3 points ago

Spear a charging tiger with a small stick? How would that help?

Unless you like your tigers extra pissed.

[–]asshatnowhere 0 points1 point ago

well i think your kind of fucked either way, but i think trying to spear it would work a whole lot better than trowing the stick at it.

[–]luxury_pie 2 points3 points ago

Spear it in the fucking eye!! Then mount it and ride into the jungle with your newfound pirate-tiger.

[–]asshatnowhere 1 point2 points ago

dont forget your pirate hat!

[–]luxury_pie 1 point2 points ago

Never forget.

[–]cptspiffy 0 points1 point ago

I like my tigers with a little bit of BBQ sauce. Then I like to wash them down with an ice-cold Budweiser.

[–]jebik 0 points1 point ago

damn nature, you scary!

[–]numbertheory -1 points0 points ago

The guy behind the camera survived long enough to make an animated gif of this?

[–]a_derp_in_thailand -1 points0 points ago

this song literally played in my head

[–]rdewalt -3 points-2 points ago

From last time I saw this, I believe the full story is that the elephant turns the feline into a thin paste on the bottom of her foot. Oh sure, the tiger gets a few hits in, then the elephant gets all the rest.
