The tiger retreated to the water. MAHARASHTRA, INDIA: SEE THE moment a six-hundred-and-sixty-pound tiger launched an attack on the world?s DEADLIEST man-killing bear. In one image, the Bengal tiger knocked the 300-pound sloth bear to the ground as it temporarily gained the upper hand. In another, the six-foot-tall sloth bear stood back up and began swiping at the tiger with its claws and teeth causing the big cat to retreat. Photographer, naturalist, and tour leader Arpit Parekh (33) from Palghar, India, captured the incredible images in the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra, India. The rare encounter took place 1000-yards away from Arpit?s vehicle ? lasting an intense 30 minutes. Sloth bears may have an adorable furry façade, but they are the deadliest bears around. The most notorious of this species was known as ?The sloth bear of Shot in 1957, this particular bear killed 12 people and mauled two others. Arpit captured the images on his Canon EOS 750D camera using a Canon 55-250mm lens. / Arpit Parekh
