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.
The predation prowess of both lions and tigers is best exemplified by their predation on large bovids and megafauna while these events remain rare, and target younger animals with solitary lions or tigers we still all have our hearts beat twice as fast when we see or read about a Sumatran tigress taking down a Banteng cow , or Indochinese Tigers in Thailand killing adult gaur, banteng, and water buffalo ( Smichaoren ) or lion prides who practically eat nothing but giraffe or Buffalo in several African areas, or the pride that Derek Joubert witnessed killing a six ton bull elephant in Botswana .
We know that tigers and lions are intelligent calculating predators that ruled their domains through brains before brawn and they will not take stupid risks with dangerous prey but sometimes it is a mixture of luck, opportunity, brute, force, intelligence, perseverance, team work, experience, and courage and we witness the impossible!
I am in awe of these creatures that I named two of my sons Leo and Tiger
Can a Lone Male Lion have a successful predation on a Adult Bull Buffalo?
