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.

Especially as Pckts told because these tigers were uprooted and not totally wild. The three fights above are impressive but I don't perhaps think that leopards are more ferocious, but being smaller and - I clearly think - suppler we can see them making some movements and sustaining some positions and contortions that both lions and tigers, more powerful and static, don't take.
Yes and maybe this is because their spine is more flexible and allows them to make such movements.
What I'm sure is that male lions fight in a totally diferent way. First of all they are gang fighters, and if they have the chance they will try to take their rival 3 against 1, or 4 against 2.
That makes me wonder how would a lion fight one on one?
Most of the fights capture like this one are little brawls between brothers when a female is in heat, and I think it's a rare ocurrence two males fighting to the death.
