I just have to say this too. When I read about a gaur, weighing 1700 lbs (about 770 kg) and how 13 men couldn´t move it a yard. 

I have myself with a friend dragged an adult male moose on tarmac about 5 meters and it was easy. It happened when we came to a place where car had crashed with that moose. It was a big one, about 400 kg, so about 880 lbs. Of course moose fur has little friction against tarmac in good condition. But still, on flat area there were me and my friend, only 2 men and easily dragging that moose so, that no more cars crashing it.

I don´t get it, that what are 13 men doing if they can´t drag 770 kg even a yard. Maybe no rope to use there or whatever. But that information doesn´t mean, that tiger would be more powerful than 13 men, it means only, that there have been 13 men, who haven´t had a clue what to do. Maybe 3 of them at time trying to pull in different directions while 10 watching...

Sometimes when reading some books, it is quite strange and hard time to understand what has happened there in reality.

Here on video how a man drags 180 pound deer alone. He talks too much, I think, but point is, that dragging an animal isn´t so difficult as some think (without any own experience about it, only seen on tv a dead animal maybe). This guy starts pulling (finally) at 4:55.

Another video, men pulling a moose out of woods.
