In this article was just mentioned wild dogs https://zeenews.india.com/news/eco-news/pack-of-wild-dogs-attack-and-injure-tiger-at-panna-reserve_877236.html

In this article is now said clearly that stray dogs and a bit more information concerning injuries.

Quote: 

"On September 10, 2013, a three-year-old tiger, P-212, was attacked by a stray dog near Hinouta range inside Panna Tiger reserve in one of the rarest occurrences. 

The tiger was tranquilized and shifted to enclosure following multiple bites on its nose and tail. 

Incidents of dogs and wild boars chasing tigers have been reported from other forest areas, too."

Both incidents sound speculative, if a Tiger was killed by a boar it'd show wounds and no stray dog could be anything more than prey for a Tiger, even a 3 year old.

Edut: I found it, P212 was treated for rabies.

Well, wild boars have been reported to kill some tigers in official reports from India and Russia, so nothing special in it. Then again if tiger is treated for rabies, dog bites are for sure a good reason to do so.

I cannot recall a single case of an Indian Boar killing a Tiger nor can I recall a Russian one either, but it'd be more believable with a Russian boar. Reply
