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.
Quote:Also, like I say, I don't have to much information about lion predation, so I can't say anything about it, but I will like that other poster can provide usefull data, not only "opinions".
I allready read the entire topic of tiger predation on rhinos, and you defended that the rhino was subadult and Shadow that was a calf, but at the end is the same thing, you don't complain about a tiger predating a huge rhino, you accepted those records, so I don't understand why you don't do the same with gaurs?
The other stuff will be the same answers but the things quotes I'll respond to:
In regards to the Lions, we posted many videos of predation attempts on Bulls and big alpha ones for comparison.
The best we can do, but being the open plains of africa the footage is more abundant.
The Rhino claim was a 600kg animal possibly more but still a sub adult, not a prime Bull that is full of testosterone and another 300-400kg more at max.
A Bull that size has lived through all the tests that come from the wild, its fought many battles unlike a young, untested rhino sub adult.
The large male that died with the Rhino was killed by a 20 year old female, still extremely impressive for a Tiger to also kill the Rhino dont get me wrong, but it died in the process.
Maximum size of prey that a single male lion or tiger can kill
