Watch: World’s bravest duck dices with death as it goes swimming with a TIGER

This is the risky moment a duck decided to go for a swim – alongside a terrifyingly huge tiger.

The bird, dubbed the ‘world’s bravest duck’ for his antics, seems unconcerned by the sight of the massive predator sharing the water with him at the Symbio Wildlife Park in New South Wales, Australia.

However, the tiger appears to take a different view, stalking behind the feathery intruder as it swam round in circles.

Things get a little hairy when the tiger gets very close to the duck, pouncing on what it regards as an afternoon snack.

However, the giant cat misses the duck and lands unceremoniously in the water with an almighty splash.

The duck’s ordeal doesn’t end there, however, as the tiger carries on pouncing with its jaws wide open – missing every time as its target dives under water to escape, appearing at another part of the rock pool.

The tiger eventually gives up, embarrassed at having been outwitted by the duck – who went on to enjoy his swim in peace.

Eventually, the predator gets bored of the game and admits defeat, leaving the duck to enjoy his moment in the water alone.
