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.

Valmik Thapar is one person who tells about such incident in his book: Land of the Tiger: A Natural History of the Indian Subcontinent.
Quote from it:
"However I do know that a tigress once killed an adult male to protect her cubs. The male, who might have been an aggressive transient, was gnawed open and a chunk of his rump eaten."
