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.
Great stories Peter, I just ordered a Corbett book as I am just starting to learn about old hunters and their expierences since they are truly the real experts of old tigers when their numbers where abdundent and their prey was all over.
Very interesting to see that tigers understand that neck breaking is the quickest means of death on a large animal and obviously you will need a large tiger or very expierence one to do so.
I think this also has to do with the types of animals they hunt, bears, boar, buffalo all are very durable and to avoid a long drawn out and dangerous battle, a quick neck break is obviously the prime option if they can obtain it.
