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.

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 by men to places in which they can be lifted to the trailer etc. 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 :)
