Post #229 - The tiger's stripes appear too dark and defined to be an Amur tiger. More likely a Bengal.
A young female leopard (daughter of Saba) has been seen hunting close to Saba’s home range on the 8th of April she was seen walking almost the length of the Olare Orok River, she has been seen again on the 22nd near the river bed that flows into the Olare Orok, she had killed a young Thompson Gazelle that morning. On another occassion she was not able to drag her kill to safety intime and had to share her meal with a pack of hungry hyenas.

Panna tigers face crocodile challenge
Apr 8, 2018  *This image is copyright of its original author BHOPAL: Tigers at Panna national park are being challenged by another powerful predator — the crocodile. Though the two hunt in altogether different territories, shrinking water level in Ken river due to in scorching heat is leading to frequent faceoff between the two. The lifeline of Panna national park, Ken river flows almost 50 kms inside the park and majority of the herbivore and carnivore depend on the river to quench their thirst, said Vivek Jain, the Field Director of the park. During summers, the river shrinks and the water is present in pools, of which some are very deep, he said. The river has a large number of crocodiles and there is not enough food for them in the water body, especially during summer, he told TOI. Under the camouflaged cover of rocks and stones, the crocodile ambush the herbivore who visit the river to quench their thirst, he said, adding that big animals like Neelgai or Sambhar are their favourites. During summer, big cats prefer to rest near the river in search of their prey. Principal chief conservator of forests (Wildlife) Jitendra Agrawal told TOI, “Tiger-crocodile encounter is very common during summer. Our staff have witnessed many fights between T-1 cubs and crocodiles.”  *This image is copyright of its original author After all the tigers vanished from Panna in 2009, Union ministry of environment and forest approved a proposal to translocate two tigers and two tigresses to the reserve. The one from Bandhavgarh national park was coded as T1. The female from Kanha was christened T2. The introduction of tigers did wonders in the park as their the number has now gone up to 30. There are large number of crocodiles in the river that is shrinking as the heat intensifies. The drought in Bundelkhand has badly affected the river. Hemant Yadav, who was posted till recently as assistant director in Panna, was witness to the famous face off between the tigress P141 and crocodile near Bhoradev point, the river patch with deep water pool. One of the staffer got an opportunity to click this picture while he was scanning the jungle in May 2017. The tiger-crocodile confrontation was taking place on the other side of the jungle which was territory P141. “When the tigress realised that the reptile had dragged the kill into the water, she jumped immediately into the water and looked into the eyes of the huge predator. However, she soon realised that it was dangerous to remain inside the waters where the crocodile rules and not the big cats,” Yadav who now works with the territorial forest division in Panna said.

Bear and T-19 cubs confrontation.. It was in the middle of the day (anrd noon) when it all unfolded. T-19 was gone for 2 days and cubs were staying around this waterhole. For the whole morning they were disturbed by passing vehicals and were scared to come to waterhole for a drink. Soon the day visit gypsies were gone and a handfull of full and half day were left. After giving them some space and peace they decided to come down for a drink but till then a bear was already there to soak himself in the cool water. But the thirst and may be hunger took over this young guy (12 months only) and he decided to confront the bear while other 2 stayed back..it all ended in less than a minute and soon all 3 cubs had the waterhole to themselves.. Hats off to the cub who had the courage to intimidate a fully grown bear.  *This image is copyright of its original author

Can somebody explain this?
The incident took place in Ngorongoro Crater. The dog could be rabied... Do lions recognise rabies instinctively? |
