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.

Even though old stories are often exaggerated, sometimes in very gross way, there is often something to what those are based. Older tiger, injured tiger... dholes are for sure smart enough to notice if tiger is slower than normally etc. Maybe there are no cases, where tiger is killed, maybe then again some tiger in weakened condition has been in trouble.
What we know is, that they coexist and also some times there are situations, where they have... should I say disagreements :)
Sorry to say this, but this is the perfect example of incomplete videos that put us in danger of missinterpretate a the situation.
The video says nothing about why this conflict started, dholes are not harassing the tiger, for the contraty, it is obvious that they are trying to distract the tiger from other thing. None of the dholes got close to the tiger, there are just runing around just like wild African dogs do with lions when they try to distract the big cat from the cubs.
If you try to show that dholes are attacking a tiger here, is not a good example. In fact, we can see that the tiger killed something small there, probably a dhole cub (?).
