Best Tiger behavior depicted in movies, 31 August 2005
10/10
Author: ProfBenson from United States

This is one of my favorite movies because it has the most realistic tiger behavior ever depicted in films. Man-eating tigers still exist in Asia--although now much rarer than they were--and it amazes me how well the director was able to show us how a man eating tiger would really have behaved. I worked with tigers and elephants for 25 years in a zoo (and I wholeheartedly approve of zoos now gradually ending the keeping of these animals in captivity)so I can tell you that this film gives you a uniquely realistic view of a man-eating tiger's behavior. The scene where the line of elephants are being ridden to drive the tiger towards the hunters is nice--when you see those elephants' trunks come up into the air they really are smelling their arch enemy a tiger, and they don't know it is a tame movie tiger so that is absolutely real, too. If you want to read about man-eating tigers, get books by Jim Corbett and Kenneth Anderson--they make fascinating reading. If you want to see similar superb depiction of a rogue elephant's real life behavior on film, get a copy of Jungle Princess, starring Dorothy Lamour (1936).
