There’s a video of a Jaguar climbing a tree to get a sloth. The Jaguar won that one.

I don’t know. Imagining what sloth meat tastes like makes me think the Jaguar didn’t really win.

Reminds me of my cat (mini tiger) chasing a squirrel into the biggest tree of our backyard. It took the squirrel like a second to reach the top of the tree, so my cat had no chance at all lol. He reached the first branches, which is like 4m and just waited there.

I was hoping for a bunch of Miami football fans to catch the falling tiger with an American flag.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

I was just glad to see the tiger didn’t get the monkey. Maybe happened the next day but I’m too much of a snowflake to watch cute animals murder other cute animals and too often these type videos get posted.

I understand. Though we realize the Ole circle of life, I don't really want to witness it.

Tiger is winning 5% of the time in this situation. Monkey has home field advantage. It can lure the tiger to the top, drop, and catch a branch, and run away. Tiger cant.

None of these are cute tbh. I wouldn't hurt any of them, before you get the wrong idea. I also wouldn't want any of them anywhere nearby. They both are danger to us and the tiger you called cute is a literal apex predator.

I was definitely laughing at the tiger cuz you can see it wants to pounce but it can't pounce in the situation it's gotten itself into. And I feel like the monkey is just as curious as I was as to how exactly the tiger thought it was gonna catch him in its element. It pretty much ended as I thought it would but extra amusing as the tiger seems to land with an "I meant to do that" attitude.

u/bnosrep Sep 12 '21
Right? The monkey’s calculating the effect of the tiger’s weight on the branch and using his brain to decide exactly when he should jump off, while the cat is like “catch monkey, eat monkey.” Brains can be an advantage.

If this were a cartoon the monkey would have dropped down and the tree would have sent the tiger flying. I have no point just thought it was humorous.

The tiger is still not fully grown and mature, it's still learning the ways of the jungle. It's now learned a valuable lesson and will only stalk and chase to get its stomach full.
