Animal Strength Feats

I saw some posters talking about a tigress trying to drag elephant carcass i don't know if she was successful. Even an average Myanmar gaur weighs 1.5 tons. Then this specimen was said to be extremely large specimen. So it is surely more than 2 tons. Well, frankly speaking when source is Corbett, I am also careful what I believe just like that. And since I haven´t seen any footage indicating such strength in tigers, I don´t buy it without some other proof also. Btw is there any official source confirming 1,5 ton average for Myanmar gaurs, just for curiosity. I don´t mind if someone is able to prove me wrong, but if you look video footage, it seems to be impossible to find anything, where tiger would drag something weighing 1 ton. That is the reason I am questioning it. For sure tiger could move a carcass weighing 1 ton, but how easily and how long distance really? And if that weight would be doubled.... Tiger is not the only animal, which seem to have old myths surrounding it. I am curious to know if there is anything to back up most amazing stories, because often most amazing stories are such, that no photos, no footage, no names or places, no clear dates. Nothing really to check. Very convenient for hunters who in past have wanted to have some glory and fame  So as I have said before, I have looked a lot of videos about many animals and trying to find out something to back up many old stories. I think, that it is mission impossible in some cases. In many videos there is strength, even quite impressive. But still also showing, that animals have limits too at some point. But maybe I am missing some footage, where tiger drags easily something big, like 1 ton animal? That should happen with relative ease at least 20 meters if tiger is able to drag 2 tons (imo). |
