Video: When the luck is on your side!
A Tiger as a predator has a success rate of just 5 per cent only, reveal recent reports.
Tigers depend on a surprise attack strategy to make the maximum of their hunting skills. This requires the tiger to hide behind natural foliage to launch surprise attacks.
Many things happen between the cup & the lip😊😊

Tigers are often unsuccessful in catching their prey.The success rate of tiger hunt based on observations in Kanha National Park,by US field biologist George Schaller is around 5% only. pic.twitter.com/8SkU70oTO6
Tiger prefers to come very close to the target to make an effective attack. But in open fields, the surprise element vanishes and the target has a better chance to survive.
In the absence of forest cover, the chances of launching a successful surprise attack get reduced manifold.
As seen in the video, the prey gets lucky this time. The tiger has to go hungry this time.
