A video recently released by the Symbio Wildlife Park in Sydney, Australia, shows "the most dangerous game ever of Marco Polo" between a wild duck and Jalur, a 126 kg male Sumatran tiger, in the park's tiger sanctuary pool.
The game, which lasted for over 10 minutes, saw Jalur making several attempts to catch the duck in vain.
The duck, on the other had, seemed to be enjoying every bit of it, sometimes diving underwater as the cat neared him, sometimes "flapping its wings to entice him over".
Jalur soon grew frustrated and left the pool with the triumphant duck to rest in the shade.
