The Jungle Book! Royal Bengal Tiger engaged in a brutal fight with Sloth Bear, watch who wins

Movie fanatics must be remembering the classic collection of stories written by Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book. The adventurous story of Mowgli and his fox family, Baloo, Bagheera, Shere Khan and other characters is one of the most loved tales. It has also been adapted into numerous films, TV shows and stage shows. Do you remember the fight between Shere Khan and Baloo? Well, here we bring a real video clip straight from 'The Jungle Book' that shows 'Shere Khan' and 'Baloo' engaged in a brutal fight.

The viral video shows a Royal Bengal Tiger engaged in a brutal fight with a sloth bear. At first, the Tiger can be seen overpowering the bear. Undeniably, tigers are more strong and violent than bears. However, sloth bears can be fierce at times, and attack tigers violently, especially when they feel threatened. 

However, in the video, the bear doesn't seem to surrender or step back. Instead, the bear bounces back on the tiger. Though it's pretty rare and intense sight, the fight between the tiger and bear is a sight one can't miss in the wild.

However, surprisingly, the bear strongly attacks the tiger and the big cat withdraws from the fight. The bear didn't calm down with that. While the Tiger runs back, the bear chases it from behind. Finally, the bear wins the fight, which is completely opposite to the natural result.
