Earlier, a video of a tiger trying to hunt an elephant went viral on the internet. The video shows a tiger chasing a lone elephant, which sensed its approach. As the elephant turns to face the tiger and defend itself, the tiger is horrified by the consequences and avoids harming it. The elephant and the tiger then part ways.
