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.

Regardless of anything else, you can definitely see the disdain Bulls have for Tigers
Uma vs Gaur
KG vs Gaur
Disdain? Since when the animals have human emotions? Gaus like any prey are afraid or at least worried of the predators. In this case, the bull have done exactly what any powerfull prey animall will do, which is attack the predator, he have saw that with African buffaloes before. The tiger done exactly what any predator will do if is confronted by a bigger animal, which is to move away and avoid unnecesary confrontation, we have saw that with lions and other predators, that are not huting, before.
So, what is your point here? This image and this video did not disprove the reports of Dr Karanth and Dr Schaller, for the contrary, it only shows that normal behavior of a predator and a big prey under circunstances that are not related with an actuall hunt.
What it shows is a lack of fear from Bulls towards large males. Is it a rule that all Tigers will run from all bulls, no.
But those are 2 huge male tigers right there and they give way to Bulls, Im not saying if the Male Tigers weren't hungry and they had the cover of night or element of surprise that the tigers wouldnt try them out, but I'm not sure how successful they could actually be and at what cost.
Maximum size of prey that a single male lion or tiger can kill
