I will like to make a little remark in the estimation of hunting success. Actually, the often quoted figures are not accurate and are mostly guesses. Vattakaven present his opinion, but it will be interesting to see which is his database, after all a true estimation of the success percentage depends of several factors and cuantitative information, not just plain observations (check the study on lions in Etosha, for example). Other example of high success rate are the tigress from Pench in the documentary "Tiger spy in the jungle" which had a success of 1 in 3 attempts (33%) and the tiger "Genghis" from Ranthambore which had a high success huting in the lakes (sorry, I don't remember the % of success at this moment, but was high).

So, this thing of hunting success is very relative on tigers, as at this moment there is not a good study about this in India. Check what the experts says:

Just my two cents, now you can continue with your debate.

No debate here. I already wrote what I had to say and why. I´m also aware of those things you shared. As I told, I just showed other side of the coin and same time I told how I see things. Someone else can see it differently. So I consider as the most reliable sources of information zoologists, who do field research. If someone else chooses to believe more some other people, it´s their choice. There is nothing to debate for me since I already know, how I think and now I told it to people who read this thread and it doesn´t change if I repeat it 1, 10 or 100 times. That´s all what I had to say and hopefully now it´s more clear if there was some misunderstanding before. Reply
