The sheer nerves of steel possessed by mothers protecting their babies never ceases to astonish me.

It reminds me of this mother caracal standing up to a lion in the Ngorongoro crater.

That is some puncture wound in his lower abdomen. Muga is lucky to be alive. This is him from last year:



Some boxers have a glass chin, Muga has a glass nose. He was slashed 6 different times on his nose. @Rage2277 His territory saw a lot of traffic, but he held on for quite some time. Couple of years ago, a male called Trishul ousted him. Since then, Muga hasn’t had it easy. I don’t know if he will be able to recover from this though. He is about 12 years old. He is not really in his prime.

An elephant and tiger both die fighting each other

August 26, 2021

Kochi: A tiger and an elephant were found dead in the Idamalayar forest in Kerala. Preliminary investigation suggests that both the animals had succumbed to injuries due to a fight. A forest patrolling team found the carcasses  in a grassland near Kulathupetti deep inside the Idamalayar forest range under the Malayattoor division.

The tiger was aged 7 and the elephant 15, said the forest officials. Evidence at the spot suggested a long fight between the two animals.

Although, tiger and  elephant clashes are  rare, this is not the first incident reported in Kerala. In 2017, there were reports of tigers killing elephants in Wayanad.

Tiger is the only predator that attacks the elephant. A similar incident was recorded in a camera trap in the Silent Valley Forest in 2009-10. Tigers normally don’t attack adult elephants, but they do follow herds with juvenile elephants’, said wildlife expert Dr P S Easa.

Malayattoor DFO Ravikumar Meena has constituted a team of forest officers, representatives of wildlife conservation activists, veterinary doctors and a scientist to conduct the postmortem of the tiger and the elephant on Thursday.

''Did you know that the Jaguar is one of the Giant Otter's natural predators? But jaguars can hardly prey on Giant Otters when they are in groups. That's because one of the advantages of living in a group is the defense against predators and rivals. In this video, filmed by @grasoresini in the Miranda river, Southern Pantanal, you see a Mobbing Behavior that is performed by a group of Giant Otters to fend off the predator. During their Mobbing they adopt very characteristic postures and sounds.''


The jaguar in the video is 81 kg Patrizia female.
