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 heard that some freaks from the northern Bengal population can rival the legendary Manchurian tigers, but I haven't seen many of their canine teeth in a proper scale.
Assume if some northern Bengal freaks have the same sized canine teeth as the Manchurian monsters which are several folds amplified compared to a regular Bengal.
If bite on the right place, he would have instantly killed the gaur as his bite could simply crush the windpipe in a snapshot. Whereas a regular tiger or lion would need more time to wear the bovid down in a lone wolf attack, since it could possibly turn out to be potentially more dangerous as the bovid could possibly loosen it and gore back with relentless onslaught.
Those freak Manchurians and northern Bengals were probably evolved into that fashion to be a legit big game hunter.
