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’ll start with the tiger:

Hope this can be an interesting thread full of impressive feats by different cats.
You mention lions specifically, but same goes with all, don´t you think? If there is just a photo of some big cat eating a carcass, there should be also something to assure, that it was killed by that big cat. Like with this gaur, is there some description from people who observed, that tiger killed this gaur alone? We know, that time to time a family group of tigers can also hunt together in order to take down really dangerous prey. And sometimes some big animals could have died by natural causes. We have seen elephant and rhino carcasses for instance eaten by predators, which didn´t kill them.
So maybe in this thread should be only photos which have some story to tell what happened. Dead gaur bull doesn´t mean automatically, that it was killed by a tiger after all. If we demand more for some accounts than from some others, it´s not too objective.
