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.

quite unusual indeed, I have never come across a male tiger that actually preyed on full grown rhinos. that's almost unheard of. just imagine the risk factor involved, too much to loose and the risk of injury is just not worth it and doing that feat twice. Amazing. I remember Steve Winter said he sighted his biggest male ever on a rhino kill! I believe this was the picture, it's a couple years old from Kaziranga, apparently the male fed on it and later he let his female and cubs join the feast.

judging by the picture, rhino's horn is missing and this rhino was most likely killed by poachers.
