This duck narrowly avoided being turned into a tiger's meal with sheer craftiness and some good luck. A hilarious video that has resurfaced on Twitter and is going viral again shows the moment a duck managed to outsmart a tiger, leaving the big cat bewildered. Though it is at least two years old - it had gone viral in 2018, according to the Daily Mail - the short clip has captured the Internet's attention again after being posted by popular Twitter account Buitengebieden.
The video shows the tiger swimming towards a duck. Though these big cats are known for their amazing stealth and hunting skills, this one was no match for its possible prey - the duck that quickly ducked underwater and emerged a few feet away, successfully trolling the tiger. The video shows the tiger looking around in confusion as the bird swims away calmly behind its back.
