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 tigress could rather be spin-dragging the proboscidean by its limbs. Dragging the front limbs while spinning and pulling the elephant, and then grabbing hold of the hindlimbs and spin-pulling them further in the same direction. It is also easier in the more wetter grass/marshes.
It is a good trick for strongmen to do in case the weight is too heavy (usually a blocky, bulky object). They usually shift it little-by-little by holding one corner and pulling it in a direction, and then grabbing the next corner and spinning it in the same direction until the goal is reached.
