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.

Elephants are animals like any other, sometimes they are scared or uncomfortable by a lot of different things, there is no dominance there or some new respect given, it's just some animals are more cautious than others.
Are we willing to say that Mice, Squirrels and domestic dogs cause Elephant to panic and thus should be categorized as the terror of the forest?
"BUT then again, dholes aren´t just running away, not even when some of them is killed, they still in some cases run around tiger, they are cautious, but no panic there. "
You and I are interpreting these situations very differently, the dholes are running away, they are running for their lives, abandoning watering holes, losing kills etc. Just because they escape death and come back to call is no different than a dog harassing a horse, it's the nature of the animal. They are pesters, they will harass animals they have no chance in tackling until they get board or to weigh their options, it's not some sort of dhole thing it's just an animal thing.
You can see the same scenarios with their African cousins
This should is a good gauge for Tiger/Dhole Encounters that you're speaking about
This mother only stayed to take the beating to save her cub and even so never once was her life in danger while injuring a member of the pack and having her cub survive. This isn't a small pack and these are dogs larger than dholes and yet if the Lioness didn't have a vulnerable cub to protect she could of just walked off or became the aggressor and chased down the Dogs more intently. But since her operative was to keep the pack focused on her and not leave her cub, she stays there to draw their attention.
