Drone proves no match for hungry Siberian tigers

A group of tigers have made short work of a drone that ventured too deep into their enclosure in Heilongjiang, China.

The cats began stalking the device as it tried to film them, with their antics captured in a video published to CCTV’s YouTube account yesterday.

One enterprising tiger managed to land a swipe on the drone, causing it to list to one side and hit the ground.

Within moments, other tigers descended upon the downed device and began chewing its rotors.

White smoke then began to issue from the damaged drone, prompting the surprised felines to back away.

The video has been viewed thousands of times and is the latest in a series of videos showcasing animals taking on drones.
