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 also believe more tigers die in encounters with healthy said animals than said animals themselves. With that being said, it's entirely possible a tiger could prevail, only in very rare instances. Just my humble opinion.
Recently i came across a fine video on YouTube & while watching it i noticed something interesting!
At 1:40 the female rhino has wounds on her haunch that looks like tiger claw & bite marks. The calf seems unharmed though. There's a chance that a tiger attempted to hamstring the mother instead of going for the calf.
