Sorry for late, I just discovered your response.
That guy name William Rice. He clearly didn't mentioned tiger he saw was a male tiger or female tiger. So it is impossible to know. How do you know if it was the male tiger was killed by pack of dholes by just reading it (especially for him if he just watched tiger was running away or killed by pack of dholes from far)? We (in your case) only can assume that it was a male tiger. I don't believe tiger he saw was the healthy prime adult male tiger since I heard from my colleague that one single lioness can destroy pack of African wild dogs. And I’ve seen descent videos of 10-20 hyenas were just running away whenever male lion was charging against them. No documentary, random videos upload by people who traveled Africa. Male tigers are the ultimate living Pantherinae, more powerful and stronger than any lions and jaguars. How would male tigers become piece of cakes by dholes every time when they clash? Obviously, different outcome can happen. Male tiger can die by pack of dholes. When old record are saying like “dholes killed tigers,” and If anyone who claimed from 100 years ago are not mentioning gender of tigers. Then I am going to believe his observation as sick or unhealthy or old tiger if it was a male tiger, or just a female tiger. Reply
