Hippos
They’ve been bullied and fat-shamed their whole lives and they’ve had enough.
Not even on the same continent. Hippos are in Africa and Tigers are in Asia. Pretty big desert in between
Probably other tigers tbh
Bigger, hornier tigers.
Their predators are other tigers. There are tribes in Asia who wear masks on the backs of their heads with large eyes to deter tiger attacks. Apparently the tiger is very much about stabbing you in the back, and not so big on open confrontation.
To be fair, they can be fooled the same way.
in the Ganges Delta in India, where tigers living under protection in a reserve had been killing about 60 people a year.
Geez that’s a lot.
I mean, deer kill about 400 people a year in the US and they aren’t even trying. 280 million people live in the Delta alongside a predator that is actually trying to kill them, so it mkaes sense.
That makes sense. Tigers are just big cats - they’re all kinda jerks to each other (let alone other animals), but I suppose that comes with being an apex predator.
Tigers are territorial and solitary but quite social, they don’t usually get into fights when they meet, that only happens when they have an actual territorial conflict because there’s too many tigers on too little land. They’re perfectly fine with others visiting their prowling grounds, they might even hunt together, just don’t overstay your welcome. Actually not that terribly different from how humans treat their houses.
