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.

There are literally more than enough gaurs in that herd to have kept the Dholes at bay, so I still don't see the realism in that reasoning.
Both of you... Keep the hypothetical speculations based on nothing to a minimum, or stop trying to convince each other.
Conversations like this go nowhere & end up lowering quality.
There are videos/photos of such interactions earlier in the very thread, with elephants etc. Refer to them, or find & bring in better info if you can.
