There can be some point in numbers, where "balance" is giving advance to one and then another. It is interesting interaction to learn more. I actually just discussed shortly wih one person who told how he saw 2010 in Kanha national park how a pack of dholes chase away a tiger, which walked right in the middle of that pack. But he didn´t catch it on video, pity :/ But maybe something can be found when digging in more.

And this is how legends starts.....

I have saw in TV many people that saw Bigfoot or UFO's, but like your source they don't catch it in video. Let's believe in them too!

Yes, there are many hypotheses, of course in discussions those are mentioned too. But in animal behavior there are many times some open questions and the more rare occasion something is, more difficult it can be to know what is the reason. But if someone can´t separate opinions from facts, it is then of course a place where legends start :) I try to write so, that it would be obvious, when I am writing about how I think and what are my own guesses and when I quote for someone else and give source in that case.

Point is, that collecting as many sources as possible and then looking big picture, you know that. Of course it would be sometimes better to ignore many writing while still searching information like in this dhole case. But then again it is fun to have some discussion and debate too. Sometimes in that way can be noticed something what otherwise would have been missed. Then again danger is, that it developes to something like this, where starts argument about single details while still focus should be on studying subject :)

Well, starts to look like, that most information what can be found here or from internet is here and time to go to library to look for some books. Quite hard to compare observations if not reading original texts :) Reply
