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.

So anything to do with a sloth bear, injuries from a sloth bear or a sloth bear in the area with scratches is all the same person and they have nothing to do with the autopsy.
Now in regards to the autopsy, the actual scientific study of what caused the death of the tiger, they only mention it was a large carnivore and the tiger died of puncture wounds and hemorrhaging. No veternian on staff mentioned anything about a bear.
I dared to assume, that this person talking about injuries have had discussions with veterinarian team before making statements based on his status as DTR field director
So I admit, that I give some value to his statement combined with other known things about this case. Of course this kind of case always leaves some room for different theories.
