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.

From same Pjrevalsky book "Travel (journey) in Ussuri region" (1867) is writen how dangerous could be for tigers to hunt a male wild boars, and that these animals in Ussuriland made sometimes a seasonal migrations depending on food availability:

"Wild boar (Sus scrofa ferus, in Chinese ei-tcu) is quite numerous in all this country from south to north.

In case of food deficit or some other bad conditions, for example in times of deep snow, fallen on frozen ground, boars make migration from one place to other sometimes on big distances. In same way these cautious animals are doing if they are persistently chased by hunters or tigers.

Tiger, after man is the main enemy of boars and settling close to the herd and hunt when it need mainly females and calfs. To attack adult male boar (6-7 years old) or called "sekatc" in Siberia, who can reach 20 or more puds (320-330 kg) tiger dares only in rare cases because such a struggle cost him too expensive. Local hunters convinced me altogether that for the tiger is difficult to overcome a sekatc, who often succeed to poke him with its canine teeth, so in such a struggle die both animals - tiger and boar"


"кабан (Sus scrofa ferus Gmel., по-китайски ей-чу) водится в большом количестве на всём протяжении описываемой страны с юга на север.
В случае недостатка пищи или каких-либо других неблагоприятных явлений, например, во время глубоких снегов, выпавших на мерзлую землю, кабаны предпринимают переселение из одной местности в другую, иногда на большое расстояние. Точно так же эти осторожные животные переходят в другое место, если их станут усердно преследовать охотники или тигры.
   Последний, тигр, после человека составляет главного врага кабанов и, поселившись обыкновенно вблизи стада, ловит, по мере надобности, преимущественно самок и молодых поросят. На взрослого же самца {Взрослым, вполне сильным кабаном, самец бывает по достижении 6--7-летнего возраста.} или, как его в Сибири называют, секача, который достигает здесь до двадцати и более пудов весу, тигр отваживается нападать лишь в редких случаях, так как подобный бой часто обходится ему очень дорого. Местные охотники единогласно уверяли меня, что тигру трудно справиться с секачом, который часто успевает пырнуть его своими клыками, так что в этой борьбе иногда гибнут оба зверя -- тигр и кабан."
