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.

This is for sure not because of difficulty on strangulation but because frontal attack is just too risky.
Of course, actually we assess only theoretical possibility for strangulation, because gaur knows very well that has to protect his neck, and in case he knows about tiger presence makes any efforts to protect the throat. That's way for tiger is probably senseless to try to get a bull who is aware of his presence. We have several videos and images showing actually tigers fleeng away from gaur.
