A tiger was documented to have dragged a gaur's carcass (which 13 men couldn't move) for 12 meters (39.37 feet), but that's another topic: https://books.google.com/books?id=T37sFC...rs&f=false

I don´t take that account seriously what comes to that gaur carcass, tiger and 13 men. There are many videos what comes to tiger dragging carcasses and in none they have showed ability to drag huge carcasses in the way like some old descriptions claim. Of course if wet grass and tiger drags something downhill, it might be difficult to drag that back uphill... 

In these things, what comes to animal strength I choose to believe what can be seen in countless video clips. And this performance by this bear was quite something. It practically lifted over half of that carcass and especially heavier part off the ground before it was turned. I´ve seen big cats to turn over carcasses, but never that big. And not in that way as this bear did. It didn´t just roll it over as I´ve seen some lions do.

Just out of curiosity, how many videos have you actually seen of Tigers dragging Gaur or Buffaloes?

The young male in Kanha drags a Gaur Cow fairly easy.

 
Quite many, and none gives that kind of impression as that old description. Here for instance moose are hunted every year and dragged in the woods. And I don´t think, that any tiger would do better based on the video clips.

I mean, if 13 men can´t drag 500-700 kg, then we are talking about very small men who have no idea what they are doing :) And if we have a 1000 kg carcass, then I would love to see a video in which tiger tries to drag it even one meter. Unless in some very wet surface making it slide very easily. But then 13 men should be able to drag it too. That old account is just not something I can take seriously no matter how I try to imagine it :)

Quite many of Tigers dragging Gaur or Buffalo?
I doubt there is even a handful available to review.

I can post videos of Grizzlies unable to budge Bison as well, claims of dragging moose into the woods will be dependent on the size of the Moose same with a Gaur.

That is not so special, that not all bears can move a bison carcass. That doesn´t change what was seen on this video and that I haven´t seen anything that impressive yet. Also I have never seen a tiger do performances like that old account claims. If you can show something that impressive by all means post that, big cat strength thread would be a good place so that people find easily also later. 

Claims of dragging moose? What do you mean, do you think, that moose walks out of the woods next to the car to be shot when hunting season? Reply
