Bird attacking tiger in zoo is caught on tape

(CBS) - In order to establish dominance, humans and other animals will sometimes stand up to larger creatures. Though this bird may be taking that concept a bit too far when he decides to outright attack a tiger! The attack kicks in at about 19 seconds into the clip.

I totally get it, Mr. Bird. You work nights and there's this tiger just howling endlessly while you're trying to sleep. I've got neighbors just like that.

Good on you for standing up for yourself and I'm glad no one (particularly you) appears to have been hurt in the filming of this rather strange occurrence.
