1. He is noticably larger

I feel bad for the Bengal who fell over while moving backwards. The Siberian established dominance without biting or swatting a paw.

6. I didn't see that as accidently falling over, but more as ceding dominance.

He may be the leader of the Bengal Pack, but knew he was not the dominant guy once the Siberian entered the picture.

A primary difference between the Bengal tiger vs Siberian tiger is its overall size. Siberian tigers are larger than Bengal tigers, especially males. In both tiger species, the male tigers far outweigh the female tigers. However, no matter the gender, Siberian tigers tend to outweigh and grow larger than Bengal tigers.Nov 4, 2022

3. Ain't nobody pushing that guy around

It looks like he told the guy with the chip on his shoulder to buzz off.

4. this appears to be designed/deliberate

and we'll have to assume that everyone knew what they were doing. But ... This could have gone very differently. Cross species killing is - a known event.

- Omaha, 2011 - - Two rare tigers were accidentally allowed into the same cage at the local zoo, and one animal killed the other as a group of visiting children looked on.
- A faulty gate and human error allowed the two tigers to wander into the same outdoor cage, Simmons said. The Indochinese tiger, a male, killed the female Bengal tiger "in the blink of an eye," Simmons said. Both are rare breeds.

According to stories at the time ... A lightening rush - and a single blow with a paw - and a bunch of schoolkids being hustled away with (false) assurances ...

5. If any of you non-pet owners don't know what submission looks like, that tiger literally falling to

their back, exposing their stomach is the ultimate sign of submission (and a smart thing to do, it would appear given the dramatic size difference).

But, yes, this was a very risky thing to do.

7. All tigers in this video are Siberian. There are no Bengals in this brief scene.

This is called Siberian Tiger Park and it's located in Harbin, China.



The Siberian tiger that is walking backwards and lowering the head is not submitting at all. It's showing signs of aggressiveness with head down, ears pulled back and is snarling. It did however get tripped up, which is not the same as submitting.



I'm sending you to Big Cat School so that you can learn about these magnificent creatures.

8. Makes more sense than throwing in a Siberian tiger with Bengal tigers

9. I'm not sure what the story is with the big one walking into the closure.

He/She might have some linage to Ngangdong tigers, but I don't know that for sure.


There was a lion named Duke at the Albion Black Pine Animal Sanctuary. Before he passed away in 2003, they found that he had some lineage to another breed of lion that had been extinct for over 100 years. He's currently on display at Albion Indiana Public Library.
