But it is possible, that he have exaggerated size and weights of some animals he mention. For instance if tiger would drag something 4 miles, that for sure is something small. 2 miles uphill... fairy tale if talking about big animal.

I mean really, looking those videos, where real tigers drag or try to drag carcasses against stories about many times bigger carcasses and tigers dragging them easily.... I really choose to believe my own eyes. I don´t think, that tigers would have lost 70% of their strength in last century or so. 

I have thought one possibility, if those 13 men were some smaller men, weighing 50-60 kg and no ropes to use, maybe that could explain, that they couldn´t move that carcass. 770 gaur and 15 meters wouldn´t be impossible for a tiger if big male, I think. But 2 tons.... no. As I said, I have never seen tiger moving anything that big and in videos tigers struggle with much much smaller animals. And 1+1 is still 2, no matter what Corbett say :) Have you read Tiger! Tale of Indian tiger by Kailash Sankhala and his criticism?

Your answer is as I thought, LOL. Well, do you know there are things called exceptions? 

We have basically no more than 5 videos of tigers dragging carcasses. And only 1 or two are adult tigers. In which only one is a male. But we have a handful of videos of lion dragging carcasses. The reason? Tigers live in dense jungle in which we can't record all its activities as we done for lions in open Savannah. 

I think the same goes here ! You got only 5, and basically 1 video of adult male (I'm not sure if it's adult). How do you think that's enough to claim some of the reliable witnessed accounts to be "unreliable"? Think again!

So only adult male tigers can drag carcasses and are like 5 times stronger pound to pound than female tigers? Reply
