In the clip, one can see the tiger waiting to pounce on the bird and catch it. However, the duck tries to fool the mighty carnivore by playing hide and seek. The bird disappears underwater whenever the wild cat approaches. To confuse the tiger, the duck does not appear from the same spot, but swims beneath and reappears in another area in the watershed.
As the bird continues its disappearing act, the tiger is left puzzled at the situation. Another tiger can also be seen approaching the water shed while the duck continues to hide from the wild cat.
