Louis Talbot tells a story about being in India where a lion and a tiger had both fallen into a pit. Of course everyone was gathered around to see if these two foes would do battle and which one would win. And Talbot says that they each circle around for awhile snarling and hissing and feigning and attack and suddenly it looked like the tiger just fell down dead. But someone had gotten the scene on film and when they slowed it down and what they saw was suddenly to quick for the human eye to see the Lion slapped the tiger up against the side of the head and crushed its skull with his massive paw.
