The Playfight of Juveniles

A play and display of strength, power & superiority between the sub-adult cubs of the tigress ‘Parwali’. As the day neared its end, the tigers exhausted by their stalking and trying to hunt a spotted deer, cooled off themselves in the serene Ramganga river. A play between tiger brothers and/or sisters can initially resemble as a fight or quarrel. However, a quarrel or fight will also be accompanied by angry roars that distinguish the play from the fight between tigers. These tigresses aren’t fighting but yes they are ‘playfighting’ Well that’s what happens when the play between siblings involves tender biting and attacks via the limbs.
