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.

@Rishi, newspaper articles contain what happens in daily life. Not a folktales or something else. Indeed, I posted accounts from popular literature like Jim Corbett and Colonel kesri singh,etc...
Here's the account from Kerala clearly telling that elephants died were not "sick"! "Thiruvananthapuram: At least 41 wild elephants have died in Kerala's forest ranges in the last six months however, none of these deaths were due to wither drought conditions or due to the lack of food and water in the forest, according to Forest Minister K Raju in a written reply in the Assembly.
Wild elephants have died due to attacks by tigers, inter conflict between jumbos, electrocution and because of other natural causes, he said."
By the way thanks giving more details from that link.
Tigers are not house cats. There's a famous video of measuring tiger paw swipe. They estimated the serious swipe of 10,000lbs. So not a little amount. That's the Weight of average bull tusker Elephant. I'm not telling they kill them by paw swipes, they just kill them by leaping on them by biting flesh off, and clawing and making the animal bleed to death.
If this is just a fanboy statement or something. Then, all the authorities mentioned there are biased tiger fans, "Colonel kesri singh" is a biased tiger fan, and famous biologist, first hand authority Dr.mel sunquist is a biased tiger fan. Which they're not.
The fanboy part from @Spalea's post has been edited out. But if he find Keshri Singh's account laughable then that's his personal matter.
Your collection in post #2 is really good, but leave it at that... You don't need to go in preach mode & convince everyone.
