Everyone who has seen Frank Buck’s “Bring ‘Em Back Alive,” that amazing movie of jungle life, is asking the question: “How did they ever film that spectacular battle between a Bengal tiger and a 30-foot python? "
The success of the whole picture revolved around so simple a thing as a jungle water hole.
This was not a coincidence, but strictly in keeping with the ways of jungle inhabitants.
Everyone who has seen Frank Buck’s “Bring ‘Em Back Alive,” that amazing movie of jungle life, is asking the question: “How did they ever film that spectacular battle between a Bengal tiger and a 30-foot python? "
- Was it faked?
- How did the cameramen happen to be on the scene—and how did they escape with their own lives?”
- The picture shows the battle ending in a draw.
The success of the whole picture revolved around so simple a thing as a jungle water hole.
- The expedition spotted the water hole early in the game.
- It was the only one for miles around, and Buck, wise in jungle lore, knew that sooner or later animals in the district would come to it.

It was here that a python met a crocodile.
- On this particular occasion the expedition was stalking a tiger which had been sighted in the vicinity by natives.
- Figuring that the tiger would show up at the water hole sooner or later, they repaired there, preparing their camera nests as shown in an accompanying drawing, but the first actors for their lenses proved to be the python and crocodile.
- It is at this point that the tiger appears on the scene. (s. Film 1)

Obviously, it was a draw.
The tiger, on the other hand, was satisfied that the python was vanquished.
Otherwise, I was told, the tiger would never have left the scene.
- But sponsors of the expedition told me that the tiger got by far the better part of the argument.
- The python’s strength had given out by sheer exhaustion, having been weakened in the duel with the crocodile.
- Only a matter of minutes had elapsed when the tiger pounced on it.
The tiger, on the other hand, was satisfied that the python was vanquished.
- As for himself, he was just ruffled and mussed up a bit.
Otherwise, I was told, the tiger would never have left the scene.
- Had the python fought the tiger without the previous battle with the crocodile, the serpent would have won easily, members of the expedition informed me.
.... das glaube ich auch, denn im folgenden Film wird gezeigt (falls die Abfolge der TV-Bilder der Realität entsprechen), dass ein vorhergehender Kampf viel Kraft und Energie kostet, die bei einem weiteren entscheidenden Kampf auf Leben und Tod fehlen ... !
An examination of the python’s body showed that the tiger had sunk its teeth deeply and decisively into four places on its back.
- These wounds were responsible for its weakening and the eventual escape of the tiger.
