Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

Shilah breathed a sigh of relief as the lion raced off into the brambles and disappeared from view. "Nice work." He started moving toward the kill but paused as something else large and dangerous emerged. "Aw, shit." A large male tiger sauntered into the clearing, it was a bit thin but still boasted power in its limbs and claws. The tiger roared, revealing its huge teeth. Shilah wasn't super keen to back down just yet. They'd fought off a lion for crying out loud. He wanted at least a bite of food. Shilah bent his head and nipped at the carcass, testing to see what the cat would do. The tiger was not amused. It bolted forward and stood over the carcass as Shilah scrambled back out of the way, his ears pinned back and his hackles raised.
