A few years back an experiment with two Tigers, Ron Julie, was made in an effort to see wether Tiger could survive in the African wilderness. The goal of the experiment was to see wether the Tiger could at all survive in Africa, what the people behind the experiment hadn't foreseen however was just how effective a predator the Tiger is really is.
On their first try at a live Gazelle herd the two Tigers demonstrated amazing pair tactics, and litterally caused a massacre. Approx. 11 to 12 Gazelles were killed by the two Tigers in one attack, the two Tigers litterally steering the herd into ambush after ambush, decimating it almost completely.
Later on the Tigers were stacked against a large herd of African Antilopes, and again the Tigers demonstrated amazing cooperation skills, achieving quick kills.
Actual footage from the experiment from when it was aired on Discovery channel:

Pretty amazing IMO. Esp. that they remained tame to humans.
Amazing animal.
