Tigers hunt solo and like most (big) cats basically have one attack move that's the sneak run jump.
If the pred's allowed to use his claw, I don't see it as that big of a challenge.
Lions hunt in groups, that would be different.
And one pred vs a group doesn't seem fair. But maybe there's a crazy pred out there looking for challenge.
Personally give me a big croc or gator encounter.
Possibly with predator talking sounds translated as "Crickey. Got a real big one over here."
While doing an image search, I got results mentioning native Americans being involved in alligator wrestling. Turns out it originated from their old hunting techniques, because they used to hunt and eat them.
