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.
In the scat study, the banteng comprised 62 % of the scat of male leopards, while it comprised only about
20 % of the female leopard. In females, we can conclude that it is probably scavenging and predation on calves. On the other hand, it is not possible for a male leopard to scavenge 62 % of its diet. Also, it is wrong to conclude that banteng calves comprise that 62%. So, it is more likely that these male leopards hunt young, sick, or small female bantengs. Also, from the news i shared, it is clear that a leopard can kill a female gaur. The cape buffaloes are just too much for a leopard due to thier extreme aggression and better coordinated herd behaviour.
