>>21850205See, where this guy screwed up is 1) crouching down in a submissive position like pray, making himself smaller and less intimidating and 2) not keeping one arm across his neck. The bengal kills by suffocating its prey as in this case. Having a "guard arm" prevents this from happening. I would also offer that the tiger clearly as curious at first, not predatory. If he had swatted the tiger back on the snout it would have been a first step at establishing dominance, akin to what circus trainers do.
