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.

According the him (Balasubramaniyan Baloo) -

The whole assault took place for half an hour.The cat concealed between rocks and bushes and forwarded slowly and silently.We were holding out breadth in absolute silence, since the scene took place 15 feet before us while we sat in an open jeep!!!

Also, In answer of a question- "Did the buffalo survive?"
he replied- "No, died on the spot, after we left we were told by rangers it attacked another two in the night."

All credit and right belong to Balasubramaniyan Baloo
Incredible how much damage a Tiger can do so fast

After going to India and seeing the size of domestic buffalo there, I have a new found respect for this video and the size of Raja. The domestic Bison are huge, I was blown away at their size. They are double the size of the cows there other than a few big bulls.

Those were the local Toda buffalos..They aren't that large as the northern breeds. Males weight 500kgs, they make up for it in ferosity...

  • This buffalo is named after an ancient tribe, Toda of Nilgiris Hills of south India and it is a semi-wild breed.  
  • The predominate coat colours are fawn and ash-grey.
  • Thick hair coat is found all over the body.
  • They are gregarious in nature.
  • The body is long and deep and the chest is deep. The legs are short and strong.
  • The horns are set wide apart curving inward, outward and forward forming a characteristic crescent shape in males. Curled up beside head in females.

Usually a herd consists of a few females with rarely one or two males. Toda bulls are known to stay in dense forests and will come out only during the breeding season.

They are not always docile. All of sudden they may become furious and dangerous particularly to unknown persons. When necessary, they even fight against tigers and other wild animals in an organized team.
