I've seen many sights that say up to 900 kg, it doesn't matter really just move on, whats the big deal, trying to degrade them by a few 100 pounds or something? Make them look bad not being 2,000 lbs. they don't need it, they are the black death, I'm sure tigers would not tangle with a herd unless with a streak of tigers. But that's just my opinion [img]images/smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

 

 

It was never about the size, only about whether a Lone male lion has successfully killed a lone adult bull buffalo. Our response of size was when Varty tried to claim a 800kg bull was taken down by a lone lion and Pantherinae and I both agreed that 800kg is the maximum for Bulls and no way a Lone lion is taking down a Prime Adult Bull that is the maximum size for the species and no way a human would know if a specific bull was the largest one ever recorded.
Tigers are confirmed killing adult bull Gaur (larger than a adult bull cape) so there is no doubt that they would give it a go. Lone male lions have tried lone bull buffalo as well, but neither is going to mess with a herd. Thats a suicide mission for either cat. Raja is seen preying on multiple buffalo while a herd defends but that domestic buffalo is not a wild Cape buffalo herd, that is for sure. But bulls of both bovine species live much of their life alone or on the outskirts of the herd till its time to mate.
