A huge male tiger left his kill and got angry when he returned to find a tigress snacking on it, a new online video shows. (Watch the clip below.)
The footage, taken at India’s Ranthambore National Park and posted by the website Latest Sightings, opens with the male sinking his teeth into a sambar deer. But safari planner Vijay Kumawat, who shared the clip with Latest Sightings, said the big cat got spooked by the roar of a motorcycle and left the area.
The smaller tigress emerged to begin eating the deer and dragging it away. But the massive male then came back to reclaim his meal.
The two growled, clawed and lunged at each other with one tense intermission before the female appeared to submit. The male finally ambled over to the deer and dragged it into the brush as the tigress watched.
It wasn’t a fair fight.
Tigers can eat up to 90 pounds in a sitting. This particular cat seemed intent on getting his fill without interruption.
The royal family said their final goodbyes to Prince Philip on Saturday at an intimate funeral service attended by only 30 people at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. Philip died on April 9 at age 99.
The slimmed-down royal funeral, which was not a state funeral per the prince’s wishes, started with a unique, personal touch.
The late Duke of Edinburgh’s coffin was driven to St. George’s Chapel in a modified Land Rover that he helped design for that very purpose. The royal drove Land Rovers for much of his life, and the palace said he suggested changes for the vehicle up until 2019.
Family members walked behind the car, while Queen Elizabeth was taken to the church in a state Bentley.

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, who helped conduct the service on Saturday, spoke about the queen ahead of the funeral.
“She’s the queen, she will behave with the extraordinary dignity and extraordinary courage that she always does. And at the same time, she is saying farewell to someone to who she was married for 73 years,” said Friday while asking for prayers for the monarch.
“I think that must be a very, very profound thing in anybody’s life, and I hope that the whole nation, if they believe in that, then they pray for her,” he added. “If they don’t then they sympathise and, in their hearts, offer their condolences to her, and the hope for her to find strength in what must be an anguished moment.”
The royal family’s main site went dark shortly after news of Philip’s death was announced. It also included a photo and a statement on behalf of members of the royal family and Queen Elizabeth, who was married to Philip for over 70 years.
“It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh,” the announcement said. “His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.”
“Further announcements will be made in due course,” the statement continued. “The Royal Family join with people around the world in mourning his loss.”

Prince William and Kate Middleton also changed their Twitter images and Twitter header photos to mark Philip’s passing, as did Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall’s Clarence House and The Royal Family’s main account:

The royal family issued guidance about the duke’s “modified funeral” due to the coronavirus pandemic and said that the media and public will have more information in the coming days.
“In accordance with public health advice, members of the public are asked to continue to follow the current government guidance, not to gather in crowds, and not to visit Royal residences to pay their respects,” Buckingham Palace said on Friday regarding funeral arrangements.
“During this time the Royal Family ask that members of the public consider making a donation to a charity instead of leaving floral tributes in memory of The Duke of Edinburgh. An online book of condolence for those who wish to leave messages is available on this website.”
It is likely that Prince Harry will return to the UK for his grandfather’s funeral, People magazine reported.
The Ever Given, the massive container ship that had blocked the Suez Canal for more than five days, is once again on the move.
The ship has finally been dislodged from both banks of the global trade route after it ran aground last Tuesday, setting off a frantic effort to free it before the world plunged too deeply into an international supply chain crisis.
“She’s free,” an official involved in the salvage operation said.
Tugboats were pulling the Ever Given toward the Great Bitter Lake, a wide stretch of water in the middle of the Suez Canal, for a technical inspection.
The Suez Canal, one of the world’s busiest trade routes, became blocked when the ship’s operators said it was blown off-course by strong winds during a sandstorm. Shipping experts also suggested human error may have caused the behemoth to shift sideways, lodging both the bow and stern in the sandy banks on either side of the canal.

The Ever Given is one of the largest container ships in existence, nearly as long as the Empire State Building is tall. It’s loaded with some 18,000 containers and weighs 220,000 tons, and dislodging it from both banks represented a complex and fraught engineering challenge.
The severing of the shipping artery had near-immediate impacts on global trade. Syria said it would begin rationing the use of fuel until the canal was once again open and analysts estimated the blockage was holding up almost £7.2bn in trade every day, The New York Times reported.

Early Monday, the chair of the Suez Canal Authority announced the 1,300-foot ship had been dislodged from the eastern bank of the canal and tug boats were shepherding it back on course.
“It is good news,” Osama Rabie, the chair of the canal, told The Wall Street Journal.
Traffic could begin coursing through the Suez Canal soon, although there are currently more than 450 ships stuck in a logjam and it’s unclear how long it will take to clear the backlog.
