Cats in Planet Earth II

How not to hunt a Gaur. No tigers were (seriously) hurt. This sub-adult male tiger mock-attacked this Gaur before receiving a strong kick to the shoulder. The kick was so quick, I didn't realise it had happened until I checked the photos later, never mind that I had caught it on camera. Maybe he'll think twice before tackling a Gaur again!
