Watch: Man And Tiger Battle It Out In Epic Tug Of War Game

No one needs a reminder that the big cats in the wild surpass most mammals when it comes to strength. However, witnessing it with your own eyes gives you a feeling of awe and dread at the same time.

Numerous videos on the internet capture the unhinged and scary strength of lions and tigers. This viral video, shared on X by an account called @AMAZINGNATURE, would remind you of your place in the food chain. The 1-minute 26-second clip starts with a strong-looking, muscular man pulling a rope through a partition, on the other side of it is a young tiger with the same rope in its mouth.

The tiger is pulling the rope harder, making the man sweat on his life. But he does not give up and continues pulling for some time. Impressively, several times the tiger pulls hard enough to drag the man on his feet, closer to the partition. Despite that, the man seems to believe that he has the upper hand, as he is heard saying, “I got him,” clearly looking exerted. The clip is shared with the tweet, “Tiger tug-o-war! Zoo gives visitors the chance to test their strength.”

Netizens reacted to the video in the comments section below. A user wrote, “This genius idea will end with someone tearing a tendon or two.” Another user wrote, “I won he says, yeah no the lion got bored with the game dude.” And a third netizen stated, “I would love to try that. I would lose in less than a second, but I’d still like to try.” The post has gained thousands of likes and more than 2 million views on the platform.

Earlier this year in January, boxing star Anthony Joshua made headlines for a tug-of-war battle with a liger. He took on the animal at an exotic zoo in Dubai and unsurprisingly, lost to it.
