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.

I will take this as your final word. The conclution in this case is simple: tiger can and do kill adult gaurs up to 1000 kg, however more than half of the kills are from young specimens. Simple.
Never said anything about 1000kg Gaur, let's not put words in my mouth and I've always maintained the difference between a Bull and a Alpha male which started the whole debate did it not?
Other than that, I've maintained that they can kill Bulls but I'm tired of the back and forth of the same data.
