There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Not only predators, there are other herbivores or competitors in the gaur's habitat like elephant, buffaloes in some areas, rhinos in nepal etc. In prehistoric times, there used to be rhinos, buffaloes all across indian jungles. So, there must have been severe interspecific fights. Gaur with relatively smaller horns for it's size and with probably poor senses as well should have no doubt be evolved into a muscular thug.
