Siddharth Singh Ma'am this Tigress was after the calf .. she was playing with the mother Rhino .. I thought she was trying to tire her down .. very well defended by the mother though .. the Tigress got very close to the Rhino a few times

Abha Tewari But tell me can a tiger kill a Rhino ?

Siddharth Singh Yes ma'am at Dudhwa they have killed few adults and feasted on them .. We had a male tiger by the name Rhino Killer .. I think S Mark male also .. has tasted them .. once tired down .. Big tigers will injure the hind legs from back and tear the calf muscle .. should start eating while Rhino is alive

Siddharth Singh Ma'am no one believed that at Dudhwa rhino zone this was happening and blamed Forest Dept for rhino deaths .. An Ex DFO Ganesh Bhatt sir had Camera traps put around the rhino body .. they got Male and Female Sharing kill .. not sure but I think including Cubs 5 tigers came to the feast



Abha Tewari Tell me how do you guess the mood of so called big boy? I mean thru the walk or looks or the famous tiger roar or whatever

Siddharth Singh Ma'am .. if he licks his nose vertically .. sign one .. he is not happy .. Shows canines .. sign two .. he is now making up his mind .. twiches his tail .. the fag end .. last 1ft of his tail .. like a whip .. mind is made up and any second he will come charging .. a loud roar .. hair standing on back and mane .. Better to move and give distance if possible to avoid charge .. or else be focused on the shot .. Reply
