The sloth bear seems to be a very confortable animal with itself if it is able to sleep on the bare ground in a place also inhabited by the tigers... :) I think, that I said it quite clearly that if something new comes up, then of course it is interesting. This case looks quite clear for me based on information what Rishi had on his posting :) But if you are wondering why, I put here things, which I noticed: Dead tiger and with injuries indicating clearly, that it has fought with another animal. Veterinarian saying, that injuries are fitting to be caused by a sloth bear. No pugmarks of another tiger there. Approximately same time and very close there is seen clearly injured sloth bear with scratches. For me that looks to be very clear :) If some people disagree, that´s no problem. But with that current available information I don´t see any other logical explanation for that dead tiger than that it was killed by that sloth bear. Some other explanation doesn´t seem to be probable. I don´t think, that they find some new pugmarks etc. related to this incident anymore after many days  Of course there is a small possibility, that these injured animals just happened to be there by accident in same area and same time. But for me that sounds unlikely. If new facts come up, then different thing naturally. I just wonder if there is anything else to be found after so many days. But now I think, that I have said all what I had in my mind concerning this and I don´t care enough to debate this endlessly. My opinion and what things made me think so are now explained. |
