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.

I just don't see the need for a wild dog to loose many pack members attempting to kill a tiger nor do I see any instance where a tiger if facing many wild dogs could or would not just run. No way a wild dog can stop a tiger from escaping if they wan't to and I am sure the wild dogs would be more then happy to know they ran off the tiger.
Yeah those stories are completely void of context and wildly embellished. I could see if a tiger attacked the pups or something they would go after it but there's no fucking way they see a tiger and decide as a pack to go attack it, knowing they would lose 5-6 members. That just flies in the face of evolutionary logic. The tiger/dhole relationship is the same as the hyena/lion. There's competition and conflicts, with tigers and lions winning 9 out of 10.
