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.

This reminds of Machlis attack on Nickear when he first came on to the scene in ranthambore. Yes she was a huge, brave and ferocious queen but I think most of her rage came from the fact that she was defending her cubs. Parents when defending their kids are most dangerous whether be it humans, dhole or pretty much anyone else. Heard good stories of bear mothers doing the same to tigers over their young ones too.
Another story from early 2000s from Corbett which my dad narrated to me. A mother panther defended both herself and her cub infront of a big male tiger. She later on died due to her injuries but her male cub survived without a scratch. This she managed also injuring the male tiger to some extent. I saw her in the Corbett gate mueseum when I was a kid.
