A tiger is watching a herd of deer at a nearby green. The whole scene is as calm as a sea. The herbivores are feeding on grass at peace while the carnivore is waiting for the perfect time to pound upon the herbivores as it had been days since the last deer fell prey to it. The cubs can also be seen waiting for its sire to bring food for their starving stomach. The adult looks at the cubs and slowly turns its head toward the herd of vegetarians.
In the herd of herbivores, a deer is struggling to give birth to a fawn. Finally it succeeds. The young fawn drops flat on the ground, the mother deer caresses it. It is one of the nature’s mysteries as we can call it, just after a couple of minutes of birth; the young fawns are ready to leap on its limbs. It’s a very uncommon supernatural power that deer posses. Now the fawn is ready to jump, run and leap through the bushes and can run along its sire.
The tiger now takes its position and with a quick glance starts the run. Before the deer knew what was coming, they see a tiger running towards them only some yards away. All the deer run for their life. The newly born fawn starts running away from its predator while the mother stays close to it, still running and seemed like it to be guarding its offspring. The tiger has already got one at its end and it’s the same young fawn that just came to life. After a couple of minutes of hustling chase, the tiger is able to jab the fawn at the back limbs. The fawn falls on the ground. Finally the tiger has got something to feed on, for itself as well as its cubs. The mother deer looks at its fawn being fed to the carnivore from a safe distant. Its eyes seem to be wet, its face full of sympathy and watches the whole scene hopelessly.
The tiger then drags the dead fawn to its cubs. All the cubs indulge themselves to a delicious feast.
Before the tiger and the cubs could quench their thirst with the fresh blood of the fawn, a pack of hyenas appear out of nowhere. Hyenas are parasites; they don’t hunt on their own. The single tiger could not defend against a pack of irritating hyenas and thus the hyenas get success in chasing away the tiger and its cubs leaving the prey for them. A little distant away, the hungry cubs and the tigress watch the hyenas feasting on the fawn. The tigress then slowly tilts its head towards its starving cubs and waits for another herd of deer. Its eyes seem to be wet, its face full of sympathy and watches the whole scene hopelessly.
After a couple of minutes there was a flock of vultures which did the same thing as the hyenas did to the tiger, chased them away and started feasting upon the dead fawn.
I watch in amazement, the whole thing on the discovery television channel. “A tough law of nature”, I whispered to myself with a big sigh.
