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.

After seeing all these evidences there is no doubt that the big males of tarai area are much larger and impressive specimen.
When they begin to fill with gas that is definitely the case but the male being loaded on the elephant is fresh. His body is still limp, he probably had died within a day or two at most. Decay begins to set in very quickly and you can see hair loss and bloat as sign some of that.
