Watch: Tigress and her cubs hunt crocodile at Ranthambore National Park, rare video goes viral

Watch the viral video here:

Famous Ranthambore Tigress Riddhi and her three cubs hunt a crocodile in Zone 3 of Ranthambore National Park & Tiger Reserve. Quite a rare kill to witness in the Park. Riddhi’s Grandmother Machli had famously hunted a 14 feet crocodile once. Riddhi is Queen of Ranthambore now. pic.twitter.com/BjC25GHDHM

IFS officer Parveen Kaswan reshared the video on X and wrote, “Have you seen tigers eating a crocodile. The crocodile hunting thing is in their bloodline it seems.”

The now-viral video did not go unnoticed, garnering over 1,34,000 views on the platform and myriad reactions. While a section of users enjoyed the video, others claimed that the crocodile died of natural causes. A user commented, “This doesn’t look like a kill or hunt by tigers , rather, crocodile died a natural death and tigers are enjoying.” Another user wrote, “Finally an instance where saying “you’re slaying queen” makes any sense.”

“Great video, would love for more footages of this case. Mugger crocodile killed by Machli was closer to 11~12 ft. 14 ft is a baseless claim, even the original observer (Parashar) estimates the mugger to be ~12 ft” the third user argued.

Last month, a video of a tiger taking a big leap to cross a river at Sundarban National Park, West Bengal won hearts among wildlife lovers.
