Oh, one thing.... "preconceived"? I would love to hear what do you mean? I saw a video, where tiger was hunting and I was interested about the case. Is pointing out some observations for you in some way same as preconceive? I have to say, that I find it quite odd, what you say and I am curious to hear, that what do you mean?

My points were, that the buffalo didn´t die immediately in that video and it is clear, that it didn´t. Then I was curious to know what might have happened after that recording ended, because I am curious about animal behavior and especially when something unexpected happen. I hadn´t seen anywhere any good information about that video and incident, so I commented about it in hope, that someone might notice and have more information. Then I said, that it is very rare, that kills are clean and instant, I meant by it big cats, in which I maybe wasn´t clear, but as you too know, that is reality, usually there is fight and suffocating.

So what do you mean by "preconceived"? I don´t think, that pointing out facts fit to that.

But in the 10 sec encounter with Raja the Buffalo was injured so badly it couldn't stand even though it was still in obvious danger.

Now I recall it being a total of 3 buffalo being killed but his caption says "2 and went back for a 3rd."

I'd post the video myself but I'm on my cell and it's a pain to post FB videos.

Could be injured of course badly. But from video it´s difficult to say alone. There are cases, where animals rise up later. Anyway whatever was result, that attack was impressive and fierce and without any doubt, there are similar cases where tiger breaks neck of buffalo/cow/whatever. This one just didn´t die at least instantly. So if someone thought, that fast/clean and kind of merciful, that wasn´t the case. It is quite rare to see really fast kills so, that prey animal barely has time to get scared. 

Still this is one very impressive attack and damn that tiger was fierce! That long roaring was really something, it can be only imagined what it would be like to stand in some forest or field and suddenly hear that voice somewhere close :) I bet, that most of us should change underwear after that.

That is the tigress Raj Bhera from Bandhavgarh. She died earlier this year. Peacocks can be very irritating with their shrill noises, so can’t blame her.
