A video from Ranthambore National Park has surfaced on social media showing a few tigers consuming a crocodile after they hunted it. The online post claimed that the famous tigress Riddhi and her cubs managed to kill a crocodile on the premises, and captured them sitting next to the dead prey and feasting over it.
It was learned that Riddhi's grandmother had once made a similar kill which involved a 14-foot-long crocodile.
Talking of the video which has gone viral on social media, it opens showing two tigers lying beside the hunted reptile and consuming it. It recorded the rare sight of the two tigers tearing off the flesh of the crocodile with their sharp teeth and eating it.
While the focus of most people was on the tigers eating their prey, we also noticed a stilt walking in the background, without giving much attention to the scene. It casually took a stroll around the lake as if it was too busy with its own work and had no time to peep into what others nearby were doing.
