Tiger Predation

[Apex Titan]

After a 3 day chase, a tiger killed an adult bull tusker elephant in Corbett National Park

The tiger was seen (and filmed) chasing the bull tusker elephant for a period of 3 days. The night before the bull elephants death, the tiger was seen chasing it again. In order to save its life, the elephant was running from the tiger without food or water for 3 days, and died of exhaustion. It was found dead the following morning.

The post-mortem showed that the bull tusker elephant was around 20 - 25 years old. It was also confirmed that this was certainly not a case of poaching, but a natural predation by the tiger.

Between the years 2014 - 2019, there have been multiple deaths of elephants in Corbett, wherein 60% of elephant deaths happened due to tiger attacks:
