In an act of self-defense, a courageous young crow repeatedly kicked the tiger in the mouth, causing the majestic feline to wince in pain.

These photos were captured by a tourist at a zoo in Devon County, England.

From these images, it is evident that the young crow has not yet reached maturity.

The tiger appeared highly curious as a “strange creature” dropped right in front of its face. On the other hand, the young crow puffed up its feathers and threatened the tiger with a menacing expression.

The crow seemed to react swiftly to the tiger’s curiosity.

As the tiger approached closer, the crow swiftly took flight, startling the big cat..

Using its two feet, the young crow kicked the tiger in the mouth, leaving the majestic feline intimidated. As a result, the tiger was unable to prey upon the little bird.
