One thing that I would like to add is though gaurs are the biggest prey available for central Indian tigers , bringing down a gaur s no easy task and except kolsa I haven't heard of any other place in central India where tigers prey on gaurs on a regular basis ... Gaurs are definitely on the list but not the staple diet ... Mostly it will be cheetals , sambar n boars.

 imo that's where the nutorious cattle killers have disticnt advantage , for a tiger to gain bulk it has to eat as much as possible and spend as little energy as possible ...

So for a tiger living in the core area doesn't have the luxury of having cattle on it's menu , and especially with the new anti slaughter laws in states of mp and Maharashtra theres an abundance of adandoned stray cattle in the areas surrounding the buffer jungle and they do stray into the jungles also.

I myself had seen on one occasion where khali had killed three buffalos and carcass just lying at hardly 50 mtrs apart.
And buffer zones especially in tadoba the natural prey density is very less compared to core zones . Reply
