Dholes (Cuon alpinus)

[Wolverine]

@Shadow , from the video is clearly visible that leopard afraid of dholes and run away on the tree. If we assume (Sterndale 1884) that tiger also afraid of big packs of dholes (theoreticaly) he will not gain nothing if he openly display his fear and run away. Tiger unlike spotted cat can't climb trees so if he start running will only provoke attack. So in interest of tiger is to display he doesn't worry of dholes even if he worry. And basicaly unlike spotted cat lions and tigers have developed sense of "dignity" , they seldom run away openly and normally move away slowly if fill threatened for some reason. Again I dont insist that tiger afraid of dholes (while for sure solitary dholes and small packs afraid of tigers, solitary dhole is basicaly almost helpless against big cat) , actually we dont know what is going on in his brain. I think its early to make any final conclusions about their interractions, basically I agree with Rishi that we have to wait another 10-20 years to see what the modern filming tecnhology will tell us.
I think in the fiture we have to discuss this topic only with arrival of some new information, new sources etc Reply
