Ok, first off, a tiger…swimming in the swamp?
Tigers don’t even like water.
If you placed it near a jungle, or some sort of dry land, that’d make sense.
But you find yourself in the swamp, I’m assuming it’s in the Everglades, coming up against a full, grown, 800 lb Gator with his 20 or 30 friends.
You lose that battle. you lose that battle nine times out of ten.
