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's a report of a gaur killing a male tiger. (I don't remember exactly it was in Nagarhole or Bandipur) you might be knowing this, are there any reports from Russia of boars killing tigers?
I think the wild buffalos of Kaziranga would be the toughest adversary for any lonesome predator. I'll rate them above gaurs.
If an Amur can kill a boar so can a beast that preys on buffaloes. Well don't Amur tigers tend to have more body fat as required by the harsh wintery conditions they live in? in that case an Amur would tire before a Bengal.
