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.

The tiger jumped on to the back of gaur or will try to get on top when they face off. Then it will bite top portion of gaurs neck probably crushing the vertebrae killing it instantly. In this video you can clearly see those words coming true. The top of the neck is severely bitten inflicting deep wounds to the upper neck with high chances of damage to vertebrae. He also told me rhinos and elephants, though rare, ARE targeted AND KILLED by tigers.
This was a small cow killed in Kanha by a large male tiger.
There is no eye witness of a Large bull being Killed by a Tiger unfortunately. But there is an account of an old bull named Odin who was in an all night battle with a Tiger and wasn't killed, showing the idea that they can kill a healthy bull in 5 minutes to be a stretch imo.
