Bengal tigers can weigh up to 270 kilograms. They can run at speeds of up to 65 kilometers per hour. But in the forests of Nepal, these powerful predators also have their lazy moments. This tiger is fast asleep. Wait, there are two tigers not one. As for what they're doing, Let's leave them alone. Even more surprising. Just 100 meters away. Another pair of young Bengal tigers is getting close. According to the figures in the original script. Nepal is home to more than 350 Bengal tigers. And in this forest. Another tiger family is growing. A mother tiger. Is raising three cubs. The oldest male cub seems a little restless. He moves closer to his younger brother. Apparently looking for a playmate. But his brother doesn't seem to notice anything unusual. He keeps playing with him as usual. Their sister chooses to explore on her own. At 2 years old, she's already used to exploring her surroundings. Before setting off, she even scratches the ground with her paws. Then, she starts looking for prey. Soon, a herd of hog deer comes into view. But for a young tiger, spotting prey doesn't mean she can catch it. She must approach quietly, without letting the deer notice her. The tall grass during the dry season gives her cover. She lowers her body and slowly moves forward. Just as she gets close to her target, the deer suddenly sense danger. An alarm call rings out and the herd scatters in an instant The young tiger doesn even get a chance to attack Her first hunt ends in failure Under the blazing sun she and her siblings soon reach the river For them it not just a place to drink It's also a great place to escape the heat. Before entering the water, they test the surface with their paws. Then they slowly step into the river, keeping only their heads above the water. Their younger brother soon joins them. Their sister joins in too. All three siblings enjoy a relaxing soak in the cool water. But their mother still has work to do. To feed her three cubs, the mother tiger must find enough food. She crosses to the other side of the river and starts searching for prey. The tall elephant grass provides perfect natural cover. She can use it to slowly approach her target. But the biggest risk during a hunt is being spotted too early. Even the slightest movement in the grass could send the prey running. So the mother tiger has to keep trying. If there's no opportunity here. She moves to another spot and waits. Soon, a herd of spotted deer comes into view. One young deer. Seems easier to approach than the others. Just then, a mother deer and her fawn walk right past the tiger. With the pair so close, the mother tiger immediately springs into action. The fawn runs for its life, making sharp turns to escape the chase. But the animal chasing it, is a fully grown Bengal tiger. After a long chase, the mother tiger finally secures some food. It may not be a big meal, but it gives her some much needed energy, and she still needs to find more opportunities, because every successful one in the forest, helps determine whether this tiger family gets enough food to survive.
